Strengths
- “School and trust leaders have improved many aspects of this school in recent times.”
- “For example, they have ensured that children in the early years get off to a positive start, and they have established a culture of positive behaviour and improved pupils' attendance.”
- “Based on the shared values of belonging, caring, resilience and integrity, leaders have created a positive, nurturing environment where pupils feel safe, welcome and valued.”
To improve
- “However, leaders have not dealt with other areas of the school that need improvement as quickly or as effectively.”
- “Leaders’ work has not had enough impact on pupils’ achievement.”
- “Teaching does not ensure that pupils gain secure basic knowledge and skills in reading, writing and mathematics.”
