Strengths
- “The school creates a vibrant and inclusive environment where pupils feel safe, happy, and eager to learn.”
- “Staff foster positive relationships with children and families.”
- “This creates a sense of trust and belonging for pupils.”
To improve
- “This means that some staff are still getting to grips with this new content.”
- “Consequently, sometimes teaching activities do not support pupils’ learning as well as they could.”
- “However, the school does not give sufficient focus to developing children’s early writing skills, including letter formation.”
