Good Inspected 19 September 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school each day and show exemplary attitudes to learning.”
- “They meet the school’s high expectations for behaviour and learning very well.”
- “Pupils talk about what they learn confidently.”
To improve
- “However, this high level of curriculum thinking is not quite as strong in the Nursery as it is in the rest of the school.”
- “Yet, some of the knowledge that children need to secure in Nursery, including for the two-year-olds, is not always explicitly identified.”
- “As a result, children in the early years are not as fully prepared for future learning as they could be.”
