Strengths

- “They are delighted to have found a school that meets their needs.”
- “The school has high expectations of, and is very ambitious for, every pupil.”
To improve
- “However, the school’s support for early reading and mathematics is not as effective as it needs to be.”
- “As a result, some pupils are not securing the important knowledge they need for future learning.”
- “However, leaders recognise that there is work to do to develop a more coherent personal development and careers programme to ensure that pupils build life skills in a measured and planned way.”
