Strengths
- “This is a small school with love and care at the centre of it.”
- “The school is warm and welcoming.”
- “It is an inclusive community where pupils feel safe, valued and confident to be themselves.”
To improve
- “Published outcomes for the phonics screening check in Year 1 vary and reflect that some pupils enter the school with very low starting points.”
- “Although outcomes at the key stage 2 higher standard in English and mathematics are not as positive as leaders aspire to, pupils are well prepared for their next steps.”
- “However, occasionally, teaching is not consistently effective to ensure that learning tasks sufficiently deepen and extend pupils' knowledge, particularly for pupils who are capable of working at a high standard.”
