Strengths
- “Pupils at Stondon school are happy and enjoy their learning.”
- “They have positive relationships with each other and the adults around them.”
- “The breadth of the curriculum enables pupils to talk confidently about the wider world around them.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, this support is not consistently as effective as it could be.”
- “This means that pupils that struggle with learning to read do not catch up quickly enough and, therefore, do not read as fluently as others.”
- “However, in a few areas of the curriculum what is expected for the children to learn is not as clear.”
