Strengths
- “The school puts pupils and their families at the heart of everything it does.”
- “It is a haven for the community to go to for advice and support.”
- “The school’s values are understood well.”
To improve
- “Historically, the outcomes pupils achieve at the end of Year 6 have been below national averages in writing and mathematics.”
- “However, the extra support that some pupils receive to develop their handwriting varies in effectiveness across classes.”
- “This hinders the ability of some pupils to write fluently and with accuracy.”
