Strengths
- “This school is highly inclusive.”
- “Pupils flourish in its welcoming environment.”
- “From the start of the school day, staff greet pupils with genuine warmth.”
To improve
- “However, at times, teachers do not use their knowledge of gaps in pupils’ writing to identify precisely what pupils need to learn next and practise.”
- “As a result, a minority of pupils do not develop early writing skills as securely as they might.”
