School remains Good Inspected 21 September 2023
Strengths
- “This is a safe and happy school where pupils behave very well in lessons and during playtimes.”
- “Many pupils say how much they enjoy school.”
- “One pupil, echoing the views of others, said, ‘Teachers are kind and they help me.”
To improve
- “However, in a few instances, the school has not made sure that the phonics programme is securely implemented.”
- “This means that gaps in some pupils’ phonics knowledge are not addressed quickly enough.”
- “As a result, a small number of pupils who find reading difficult are not given the precise help they need to catch up quickly.”
