Areas to improve

• Nursery practitioners should "involve children fully in planning their learning" and help them "understand and talk about their learning."
• The school should "continue to develop approaches to assessment" to raise attainment further in literacy, numeracy, and mathematics.
• Staff need to "develop further strategies to track and monitor children`s progress" and use data to show "more clearly the impact of interventions."
