Strengths
- “Pupils are happy because they know staff care about them.”
- “They enjoy the healthy, tasty meals at lunchtime and know they can talk to trusted staff when something is on their mind.”
- “This helps them to feel safe and supported.”
To improve
- “However, children in the early years do not get off to the best start.”
- “Over time, they have not benefited from a curriculum that develops their knowledge securely or sparks their curiosity in the same way.”
- “Changes in staffing in the early years have made it harder for the school to develop the curriculum.”
