Strengths

To improve
- “Writing remains an area for further improvement so that pupils achieve as well as they should.”
- “Leaders recognise the need to continue to raise attendance so that all pupils come to school as often as they can.”
- “However, the school's work to ensure that pupils write clearly and legibly is not currently embedded across the school.”
