Strengths
- “Pupils love attending this warm, caring school that is a place of sanctuary for the community it serves.”
- “Pupils are respectful towards school staff and each other.”
- “They feel safe because they have excellent relationships with staff.”
To improve
- “However, outcomes for pupils that arrive in the later stages of key stage 2 remain low due to significant gaps that many of these pupils have built prior to joining the school.”
- “In addition, in mathematics, some of the activities that pupils attempt do not encourage them to reason and problem-solve when they are ready.”
- “This impacts on how well pupils apply their learning to more complex problems and hinders their achievement.”
