Strengths
- “Most pupils begin their school life at the pre-school and get off to a flying start.”
- “Children arrive at pre-school with big smiles and are keen to learn and play together.”
- “The pre-school is a hive of activity that prepares children well for Reception Year.”
To improve
- “Leaders recognise that where high expectations are not consistently upheld, there are lapses in some pupils' concentration.”
- “However, a small proportion of pupils read books that are occasionally too difficult for them.”
- “This slows down their ability to read as fluently as they could.”
