Strengths
- “Pupils understand the school values of kindness, respect, responsibility and resilience well.”
- “They explain confidently how they demonstrate these values in everyday situations.”
- “For example, in the Nursery Year, adults use everyday moments to help children recognise how tackling challenges builds their resilience.”
To improve
- “However, pupils' handwriting remains variable, and this can affect the quality and fluency of pupils’ written work.”
- “Although attendance for disadvantaged pupils has improved, it remains below national averages, and persistent absence for this group, while decreasing, has remained above national levels in successive years.”
- “However, there is inconsistency in how handwriting is taught.”
