Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this welcoming and friendly school.”
- “The school fulfils its vision of ‘local memories, broadening horizons’ well.”
- “Pupils contribute significantly to the life of their local community.”
To improve
- “There are some gaps in pupils’ learning where staff do not ensure that the ‘sticky’ knowledge they want pupils to learn is secure.”
- “This happens when pupils do not have sufficient opportunities to practise and embed new learning so that they remember it easily.”
- “There are, however, some inconsistencies in the quality of phonics teaching.”
