Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and proud to be part of this welcoming school community.”
- “They arrive each day with enthusiasm and are greeted warmly by staff who know them well.”
- “This helps pupils to feel safe, valued and ready to learn.”
To improve
- “However, teachers do not consistently use assessment information precisely to build on what pupils already know or address errors in handwriting and spelling.”
- “This means that activities do not always deepen pupils’ knowledge and understanding or help some pupils develop fluency in writing.”
- “Although published outcomes in subjects are lower than the national average, these do not fully reflect pupils’ progression through the curriculum from their starting points.”
