Staff take time to know each child well and adapt teaching to individual needs, ensuring children with additional needs make secure progress. The combination of high expectations, creative activities, and strong pastoral care gives children a solid foundation for learning and development.

Key Strengths

  • Bilingual curriculum that supports learning in both French and English with well-structured, sequenced activities

  • Strong behaviour and positive attitudes to learning, with calm classrooms and warm, supportive relationships
  • Well-embedded early learning in reading, phonics, mathematics, and creative and physical development
  • Comprehensive personal development including emotional awareness, cultural learning, and celebrations of diversity

Areas for Improvement

  • Staff interactions need to be more consistently effective at building on children's prior knowledge and experiences
  • Curriculum delivery should be more consistently implemented as intended across all areas of learning
  • Some children find sharing challenging and need additional support managing emotions in these situations
