Strengths
- “Pupils are very happy at this school and many do well.”
- “They feel safe because adults know them individually and look after them.”
- “Pupils show a keen interest in their learning.”
To improve
- “Pupils do not use their well-developed writing skills as effectively in some subjects as they do in English.”
- “Therefore, they are more likely to miss capital letters and punctuation in the wider curriculum.”
- “Pupils also do not consistently use their phonics knowledge when attempting to spell unfamiliar words.”
