Strengths
- “Pupils, staff, parents and carers are extremely proud to be part of this school.”
- “Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the commitment shown by school staff in providing a happy, nurturing place for children to learn.”
- “Pupils work hard to demonstrate the school’s values of ‘respect’ and ‘empathy’, which are interwoven across all aspects of school life.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes in the early years, adults do not model important vocabulary that they want children to hear and practise.”
- “In addition, some adults do not extend children’s sentence structure, and this means some children miss out on opportunities to hear and use new vocabulary.”
- “However, sometimes adults do not check what pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) know and understand sharply enough in reading.”
