Strengths

- “Pupils of all ages love to help to look after their school and its grounds.”

To improve
- “However, some pupils in key stage 1 are not given sufficient opportunities to apply their knowledge of the sounds that they have learned to their writing.”
- “This hinders some pupils from forming letters correctly.”
- “These pupils do not develop their fluency in writing as well as they do in reading.”
