Strengths
- “Pupils love their school and are proud of it.”
- “They enjoy school leadership roles, such as being a member of the school council or a wildlife ambassador.”
- “They also enjoy attending school trips and visits.”
To improve
- “Leaders are refining a minority of other subject curriculums to ensure they are of the same high standard.”
- “These led to some turbulence and dips in the school’s performance, as shown in the most recent published data.”
- “Occasionally, some stronger mathematicians, in key stage 1, would benefit from more difficult challenges.”
