Strengths
- “This is a very inclusive school.”
- “Pupils spoke warmly about how they make new members of their class welcome.”
- “They enjoy playtimes in the spacious grounds, making good use of the play equipment and many games on offer.”
To improve
- “There are times when pupils are ready to access more complex aspects of the curriculum, but teachers do not always quickly identify and move pupils on to develop this more complex understanding.”
- “However, there are some inconsistencies in the knowledge and confidence of teachers in the delivery of the chosen curriculum.”
- “Sometimes, pupils are not moved on in their learning as quickly as they should be.”
