Strengths
- “Pupils benefit from the clear vision and high expectations leaders have for them.”
- “Pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, are supported to build their learning in small manageable steps so that they develop their knowledge and skills in meaningful ways.”
- “This is a calm and caring school.”
To improve
- “However, despite progress from their starting points, over time, too many pupils lack the skills to confidently decode and read with fluency by the time they leave the school.”
- “Leaders, including governors, know that this focused work on attendance remains a priority to further build on recent improvements.”
- “In some curriculum areas, however, these adaptations are not as well matched to pupils' learning and needs as they could be.”
