Good Inspected 27 February 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy being part of this happy, inclusive school.”
- “They appreciate belonging to a diverse community where different cultures and beliefs are celebrated.”
- “Pupils value the rich opportunities this brings to learn about other people’s faiths and customs.”
To improve
- “These rightly include aspects of the early years curriculum that is not yet implemented as effectively as leaders intend, or as well as the curriculum across the rest of the school.”
- “However, not all staff develop children’s language and communication well enough.”
- “They do not consistently engage children in purposeful conversations to enhance their language and enrich their play.”
