Strengths

- “They take part in clubs held before and after school.”
- “Leaders have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour.”
To improve

- “This means that teachers are not sure what should be taught or how they should check what pupils have learned.”
- “However, these sessions do not align well enough with the phonics programme.”
