Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy being part of this close-knit school community.”
- “On their arrival in Reception, children quickly learn and live up to the school values.”
- “Pupils go out of their way to show kindness.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, delivery of the intended knowledge is not as strong as it is in others because leaders have not finished training staff.”
- “Some staff do not have the subject knowledge they need to plan learning activities that provide the right amount of time and emphasis to embed key knowledge.”
- “As a result, pupils do not learn the intended content as well as they could.”
