Strengths

- “Pupils show kindness to each other and include everyone.”
- “Indeed, one staff member commented, ‘This is the most caring school I’ve worked in.’”
To improve
- “However, some pupils struggle to learn their early reading phonics skills.”
- “While these pupils receive daily, dedicated support, it is not always delivered with the precision needed.”
- “This means that pupils do not always catch up as quickly as they could.”
