School remains Good Inspected 7 December 2022
Strengths
- “Strong relationships between pupils and staff contribute to a positive and nurturing atmosphere in the school.”
- “Pupils talk about their feelings of safety and their trust of adults in the school.”
- “Pupils move around the school calmly and with maturity.”
To improve
- “However, the help these pupils get is not closely enough linked to the exact gaps in phonic knowledge these pupils have.”
- “Some pupils with SEND in key stage 2 who are still at the early stages of reading are not assessed regularly enough in order for their phonics support to be precise.”
