Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy learning and playing at this nurturing school.”
- “Adults and pupils make sure that everyone feels welcome, respected and valued.”
- “Pupils said that staff look after them well.”
To improve
- “Following the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a dip in pupils’ attainment and progress in some subjects.”
- “However, although most staff implement the phonics programme very effectively, a minority sometimes do not use the school’s agreed approach or vocabulary.”
- “This inconsistency contributes to some pupils not becoming fluent and accurate readers by the start of key stage 2.”
