Strengths
- “At this school, pupils ‘belong, believe, aspire and achieve’.”
- “They receive a warm welcome each day from staff.”
- “Staff encourage pupils to be the best that they can be.”
To improve
- “However, teachers do not regularly give pupils enough opportunity to recall prior learning of previous topics.”
- “As a result, some pupils are less secure in remembering their learning over time.”
- “In a few instances, the programme is not delivered consistently and some staff do not make the most of the time for pupils to practise phonics.”
