The Littletons Church of England Academy

Overview

The Littletons Church of England Academy is a good school where pupils are encouraged to work hard and do their best. They live up to the school's expectations and are proud of their school, where they live out the school's mission to 'belong, believe and achieve.' The school has strong links with the local community and provides a nurturing environment for all pupils.

Strengths

• Pupils are well-behaved and happy, kind and considerate.
• The school provides a strong curriculum that is sequenced from the early years to Year 5 with clear endpoints for pupils.
• Pupils achieve well in phonics, reading, mathematics and science.
• The school provides effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
• The school has high expectations for attendance and works with families to ensure pupils come to school.

Areas to improve

• In some subjects, the curriculum lacks ambition and expectation for some pupils, which means they do not achieve as well as they could.
• The outdoor environment for children in the early years is not sufficiently developed, limiting their ability to further embed areas of learning beyond the classroom.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
