Key Strengths
- Warm, supportive school culture where pupils feel comfortable and enjoy learning - staff form strong bonds with pupils
- Strong focus on personal development with whole-school experiences like seaside visits to promote teamwork
- Effective phonics teaching for younger pupils in early reading stages
- Well-behaved pupils who treat each other with kindness and respect
- Clear curriculum matched to the national curriculum with logical knowledge progression
Areas for Improvement
- Assessment checks do not precisely identify gaps in pupils' knowledge, particularly in reading and writing foundations
- Pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are not identified quickly enough and do not receive tailored support
- Some recently revised policies and procedures are not being implemented consistently or securely
- Older pupils who struggle with phonics do not receive well-matched support to become confident, fluent readers
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with the school ensuring pupils know how to stay safe through visits and visiting speakers.
Extracurricular Activities
Library visits and book borrowing, seaside trips, visits to fire brigade and ambulance service
Daffodil Preparatory School is a close-knit, happy school with a strong community ethos and high ambition for pupils' achievement. However, the school requires improvement overall due to gaps in how it checks pupils' understanding and supports those with specific learning needs.
