Strengths
- “Pupils at Hotspur benefit from a wide range of cultural experiences.”
- “Pupils from all different backgrounds enjoy taking part in the performing arts.”
- “Pupils learn from and work alongside professional artists.”
To improve
- “However, a significant number of pupils are not ready for the key stage 2 curriculum, because they have gaps in their phonics knowledge.”
- “Phonics teaching is not closing the gaps quickly enough for some pupils.”
- “The way in which the phonics teaching is organised leads to some pupils missing lessons in other subjects.”
