Strengths
- “Pupils see school as a happy place to be.”
- “They feel well cared for and welcome.”
- “Pupils respond well to the expectations that leaders have set for their behaviour.”
To improve
- “However, some disadvantaged pupils, including those with SEND, do not have enough opportunities to practise reading.”
- “As a result, they struggle to blend letters quickly enough to be able to read fluently and confidently.”
- “In a small number of subjects, leaders have not defined the key knowledge that they want pupils to learn.”
