Strengths
- “Most pupils cannot wait to get off the buses as they arrive at school.”
- “They smile, giggle and wave to the staff, who are waiting to help them to their classrooms at the beginning of the day.”
- “Parents and carers, spoken to during the inspection, agreed unanimously that their children enjoy attending the school.”
To improve
- “Although, early reading skills are nurtured, assessment in phonics is inconsistent.”
- “While the curriculum is well planned and staff are clear about what they are teaching, some recently updated curriculum areas require further development.”
- “For example, the newly introduced phonics curriculum is being delivered well, but staff are not using the agreed assessment tools.”
