Strengths
- “This is a happy, inclusive school where pupils enjoy their learning and form strong friendships.”
- “The school’s virtues, such as love, forgiveness, compassion and hope, provide pupils with positive values, helping them grow into thoughtful and kind individuals.”
- “Warm, positive relationships underpin pupils’ behaviour throughout the school day.”
To improve
- “As a result, some of these pupils have limited time to benefit fully from the school’s curriculum before reaching Year 6.”
- “This was reflected in some of the published outcomes for key stage 2 pupils in 2024.”
- “However, some pupils find it difficult to communicate their ideas clearly in their writing due to gaps in their understanding.”
