School remains Good Inspected 6 October 2022
Strengths
- “The school values of enjoyment, confidence, individuality, creativity and independence run like a thread through school life.”
- “This reflects pupils’ everyday experience and inspires them to aim high.”
- “They are instilled in children from the very start of their school journey in Nursery or Reception.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects leaders have not fully considered the way in which the early years curriculum links to Year 1.”
- “Actions to address this are under way in subjects such as mathematics, but there is more to be done to fully sequence the curriculum across all subjects.”
- “Sometimes, previous outcomes in mathematics have not been as strong as leaders would have liked.”
