Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy being a part of the St Anne’s family.”
- “It is a happy and welcoming place to be.”
- “Pupils rise to meet the high expectations that the school sets for them.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, in a small number of subjects, some of the activities that staff select for pupils do not support them to deepen their knowledge and make connections between current and prior learning.”
- “However, the school has not had the same degree of success in developing pupils’ writing, especially the basics of handwriting and spelling.”
- “While many pupils become capable writers by the time they reach Year 6, some develop persistent issues with letter formation and spelling that are not addressed.”
