Strengths
- “Leaders provide great care and nurture for all pupils.”
- “Pupils here are very happy and kept safe.”
- “Leaders have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
To improve
- “Sometimes adults’ interactions in Reception do not deepen children’s communication and language skills as well as they should.”
- “However, in Reception, weaker readers do not receive as precise support to help them keep up with the phonics programme.”
- “This is because staff do not address children’s phonics misconceptions sharply enough.”
