Strengths
- “This is a small school with a remarkable reach.”
- “Pupils look for ways to make a positive difference.”
- “For example, they deliver ‘bags of kindness’ to their neighbours.”
To improve
- “However, the information from the checks teachers make is not used consistently well to ensure that pupils learn and practise the right skills at the right time.”
- “Occasionally, this limits pupils’ learning.”
- “With the support of the trust, the school has correctly identified that pupils do not fully understand what makes an accurate and effective sentence by the end of key stage 1.”
