Strengths
- “This is a school that truly feels like a community.”
- “Pupils develop extremely secure relationships with staff.”
- “There is mutual respect, trust and kindness between staff and pupils.”
To improve
- “However, in phonics lessons, some pupils who need support with reading are asked to learn sounds that they are not ready to learn because they have not securely learned the sounds that come before them.”
- “However, this information is sometimes not used well to give support or intervention to pupils to close gaps in their knowledge in some subjects.”
