Strengths
- “Pupils come to school eagerly.”
- “They enjoy their learning, especially the way that their lessons help them to experience and learn new knowledge.”
- “Pupils are polite and considerate to each other and behave well.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, in a few instances, staff who teach the phonics programme have not had well-targeted training to strengthen their expertise.”
- “On occasions, the delivery of the phonics programme lacks precision.”
- “When this happens, it means that pupils are not as well supported as they could be to remember the sounds that they have been taught.”
