Strengths

- “Pupils benefit from the school's close attention to their individual needs.”
To improve
- “Where pupils who speak English as an additional language have recently joined the school, their outcomes are typically lower than their peers.”
- “Newly arrived pupils, including those who speak English as an additional language, achieve outcomes in national tests that are typically lower than average, for example in phonics.”
