Strengths
- “Pupils love attending this school.”
- “Attendance is high for most pupils because they understand that this will help them to achieve success.”
- “Pupils are very well supported by staff to reflect the school’s chosen values (‘6 BEES’) in their behaviour.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, however, children do not benefit from wider learning activities as well as they could.”
- “This is because they are not supported to practise what they are familiar with or to use this to develop new knowledge and skills.”
- “In these instances, learning experiences do not prepare children as well as they could for future learning.”
