Strengths
- “Pupils feel happy and safe in this vibrant, diverse community.”
- “There is a positive, respectful culture.”
- “Pupils describe their school as an inclusive place.”
To improve
- “However, there is not always sufficient time for pupils to catch up before they leave at the end of Year 6.”
- “Published outcomes, therefore, do not reflect the high-quality English and mathematics provision at the school.”
- “However, staff do not always check closely enough on pupils’ learning in lessons.”
