Strengths
- “Leaders are ambitious for all in the school community.”
- “They have created a warm and caring school culture.”
- “The care starts straight away in the morning when staff warmly greet pupils and help them settle into class.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes staff do not move pupils on quickly enough through the phonics programme or provide enough opportunities to practise sounds.”
- “This means that some pupils could be learning to read faster than they are.”
- “Occasionally, this is not the case and too much content is taught at one time or unsuitable resources are used.”
