Strengths

“A comment made by one parent is shared by many others: ‘Children are welcomed by adults who genuinely care.”
“Respect is one of the school’s core values.”
“Staff and pupils exemplify this core value through their actions.”

To improve

“However, sometimes teachers do not set work that builds well enough on what pupils already know and can do.”
“This means that, on occasion, pupils finish their work early or find the work too easy.”

Safeguarding: Effective
