Good Inspected 2 November 2022
Strengths
- “Parents and carers are full of praise for the school.”
- “They talk about how well staff nurture and support their children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “One reason for this is that leaders have made sure that strong relationships are at the heart of its work.”
To improve
- “However, when adults listen to weaker pupils reading, including those in Years 2 and 3, there are occasions when they do not help pupils to use their phonics as well as they should.”
- “As a result, these pupils are not making the full gains towards becoming the fluent readers that they could be.”
- “In a few subjects, including in the early years, the specific knowledge and skills that leaders want pupils to know and remember are not as clearly identified as they should be.”
