Strengths
- “Leaders have established a familiar and welcoming atmosphere across the school.”
- “The school blends its rich history and long‑held traditions with a vibrant approach to curriculum and play.”
- “The school is a safe place to learn, where pupils' confidence and joy are visible.”
To improve
- “A few pupils, including those who face barriers to learning, still achieve less well than their peers.”
- “However, the teaching of transcriptional skills, particularly handwriting and spelling, and teachers' expectations for these across the curriculum, varies too much between classes.”
- “Sometimes, teachers do not use resources to aid pupils' learning as effectively as they could.”
