- “Staff know the pupils well and create a warm, supportive environment in which they feel safe and confident.”
- “The school promotes a sense of belonging and community, underpinned by strong values.”
To improve
- “However, pupils who read with confidence and fluency do not always read high-quality texts.”
- “Pupils are keen writers, but the teaching of handwriting and spelling is not given a high priority.”
- “As a result, the quality of work in pupils’ books does not always reflect pupils’ learning in lessons.”
