Good Inspected 17 January 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils, and children in the early years, are safe, happy and eager to learn.”
- “Leaders and teachers have high expectations of behaviour and learning.”
- “The warm, caring environment encourages pupils to do their very best.”
To improve
- “In these cases, sometimes pupils do not learn as much as they could.”
- “This is because, occasionally, teachers need more support to consider the best learning activities to help pupils connect new learning with what they already know.”
- “However, very occasionally, this is not the case and pupils, including those with SEND, are allowed to drift for too long without further support or challenge.”
