Strengths
- “Pupils benefit from warm relationships with adults.”
- “From a young age, they are well supported to recognise and manage their feelings.”
- “This makes them feel cared for and safe.”
To improve
- “However, the school does not always have an accurate view of how well pupils learn in some subjects over time.”
- “This means the school is less certain of how well pupils are retaining detailed knowledge in these subjects.”
- “Even so, the support given to some pupils who find reading particularly tricky is not as precise as it should be.”
