Good Inspected 11 January 2023
Strengths
- “This is a friendly school where pupils flourish and achieve well.”
- “They come happily through the gates every day and feel safe in the nurturing environment staff have created.”
- “Pupils behave exceptionally well.”
To improve
- “Leaders are still assessing the impact of these, and more time is needed before leaders can fully realise their effect on pupils’ achievement.”
- “However, the new phonics scheme is not used to support these pupils, and the books they read are not always matched to their needs.”
- “This means they do not progress as rapidly as they might.”
