Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 23 May 2024
Strengths
- “One pupil summed things up well when they said: ‘When I get up in the morning, I look forward to coming to school.”
- “They say that it is a fun, safe and welcoming place.”
- “Parents and carers are very positive about their children’s experiences of school.”
To improve
- “That said, when some adults listen to weaker pupils reading, they do not ensure that pupils practise their phonics as well as they should.”
- “This holds these pupils back from fully developing their reading fluency.”
- “However, sometimes, class activities, including the adaptation of these activities for pupils with SEND, do not help pupils to deepen their subject-specific knowledge and skills.”
