Strengths

- “Pupils are polite and well-mannered to each other.”
- “They play happily together at lunchtime.”
To improve
- “While the school has identified all the content that pupils should be taught, in some subjects this is less precise.”
- “Sometimes teachers do not focus on the important knowledge that pupils need to remember.”
- “However, the transition from this early reading to building further fluency is not as smooth as it needs to be.”
