Strengths
- “Pupils learn in a calm and orderly environment where they feel safe and ready to learn.”
- “Pupils benefit from positive relationships with staff and feel comfortable seeking help if they are worried.”
- “Pupils attend well, and most arrive punctually and settle quickly to their lessons.”
To improve
- “However, pupils’ academic experiences are not yet consistent across the school.”
- “Weaknesses remain in the early years and key stage 1, where phonics, blending of sounds, early writing and vocabulary development are still in the early stages of implementation.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not secure the essential skills they need to be ready for the next stage of learning.”
