No Ofsted grade

“This is a nurturing school where the high aspirations of staff go hand in hand with an understanding that learning only happens when pupils are ready.”
“Consequently, pupils enjoy their time here (though are sometimes reluctant to say so up front) and become successful learners again.”
“When asked, ‘what could be better here?’ most struggle to identify anything except for comments about lunch.”

“This means that pupils are accessing a broadly equivalent offer to the national curriculum, though leaders know that some subjects do not yet provide a clear pathway of learning over time.”
“The majority of pupils join the school without the confidence to read fluently.”
“This is compounded by a lack of motivation to read for pleasure.”
