Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and safe here.”
- “Pupils’ rights and responsibilities are at the heart of this school community.”
- “They have a voice in the school.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, in some subjects, leaders have not considered fully how what pupils learn in Year 1 links with the curriculum in the early years.”
- “This means that, at times, pupils’ previous learning is not built upon sufficiently well.”
- “In a few instances, however, this support is not sharply targeted on helping these pupils to become fluent readers quickly.”
