School remains Good Inspected 12 July 2023
Strengths
- “Strong relationships between staff and pupils are at the heart of this happy school.”
- “Pupils feel safe and well cared for.”
- “Pupils rightly consider every member of staff as a trusted adult.”
To improve
- “However, in key stages 1 and 2, the curriculum in some subjects does not yet connect well enough with what children learn in early years.”
- “This means that pupils are not always building their knowledge as well as they could be.”
- “However, books are sometimes not matched precisely enough to the sounds that pupils know.”
