Strengths
- “St Edward’s is a welcoming school.”
- “Pupils from different backgrounds get along together.”
- “They value the friendships they make.”
To improve
- “Support for these pupils, and for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), is improving but there is more to do.”
- “However, pupils who are behind where they should be spend too much time in phonics lessons that do not teach them the sounds they need to catch up.”
- “Teachers also make appropriate checks on pupils’ learning in other subjects, but currently, leaders do not have as strong an oversight of this information as they do in mathematics and reading.”
