Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming and inclusive school, where the school's values shape daily life.”
- “Pupils and families feel known and valued.”
- “Pupils say they feel safe because adults care, listen and respond when needed.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge, especially in relation to spelling, grammar, punctuation and handwriting.”
- “This means that some pupils are not always as well prepared as they should be for the next stage of their learning.”
- “Children in the early years settle well and feel secure, but they are not consistently supported to gain the knowledge and skills needed for Year 1.”
