Strengths
- “From the moment children start in the Nursery, they are welcomed into the school’s close-knit community.”
- “Staff ensure they get to know pupils and their families well.”
- “This helps children settle quickly.”
To improve
- “However, in some areas of the curriculum, plans are not clear enough about when to check pupils’ understanding.”
- “Sometimes, teachers’ checks on what pupils know are not regular enough.”
- “They do not always identify where pupils have gaps in their understanding.”
