Strengths
- “Leaders and staff have created a caring and welcoming school.”
- “Leaders, staff and governors have high expectations for all pupils.”
- “Pupils achieve well in phonics, reading and mathematics.”
To improve
- “The training that key stage 2 staff have received to teach phonics is less effective than that for key stage 1 staff.”
- “Sometimes, this restricts the support that key stage 2 staff can provide for older pupils who need help with early reading.”
- “However, sometimes, pupils do not retain their knowledge of scientific topics taught earlier in the year.”
