Strengths
- “The school's vision for pupils to ‘Aim High, Believe and Achieve’ shapes a culture of high ambitions and excellent behaviour in this joyful, inclusive and caring school.”
- “Pupils flourish spiritually, socially and academically.”
- “This comes through purposeful praise and a clear focus on fundamental British values, alongside the school values of leadership, patience, justice, compassion, respect and stewardship.”
To improve
- “That said, younger pupils have not been consistently supported to build up their knowledge in aspects of mathematics.”
- “This has contributed to some pupils not achieving as well as they could in the Year 4 multiplication tables check over the past 3 years.”
- “While there have been recent improvements, leaders should ensure that this is consistently built upon over time.”
