Key Strengths
- Strong support for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, with early identification and effective provision

Areas for Improvement
- Spelling and handwriting skills in key stage 1 need strengthening - some pupils progress to complex tasks too quickly
- Not all staff manage pupil behaviour consistently well, particularly in dining hall and social times
- Attendance levels, while improving, need further development to sustain recent gains
- Character development doesn't always translate into consistently positive behaviour throughout the school day
- Writing skills in key stage 1 require continued focused improvement
