Strengths
- “Every child is at the heart of the school.”
- “The school team lives and breathes the school ethos: to enable all children to grow as independent learners, achieve more than they ever believe they could and shine as unique individuals.”
- “Relationships between adults and pupils are friendly, good humoured and respectful.”
To improve
- “However, there is more work to do in mathematics.”
- “Work to develop the mathematics curriculum is in its infancy.”
- “The curriculum does not support pupils well to learn their multiplication tables and there are insufficient opportunities within lessons for pupils to apply their mathematical knowledge to reasoning and problem-solving.”
