Strengths

- “They are positive about their daily experiences, including the books that teachers read to them, the clubs they attend and the friendships that they have.”
- “Pupils feel safe, which is due to the strong, respectful relationships they have with adults in the school.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, subject leaders are not clear on how children in the early years are prepared for the curriculum in Year 1.”
- “A few members of staff also do not have the knowledge they need to teach a few subjects.”
- “In these subjects, pupils do not have as secure an understanding as they do in other subjects.”
