Strengths
- “Pepper Hill is full of happy pupils.”
- “They want to come to school because they enjoy their learning and look forward to seeing their friends and caring adults.”
- “The breakfast club offers a fun and nutritious start to the school day for those pupils who need it.”
To improve
- “The school acted quickly to prioritise the teaching of reading, following disappointing phonics outcomes in 2023.”
- “However, in a few subjects across the wider curriculum, assessment is not used with precision to check what pupils know and remember.”
- “This means that teachers do not always address gaps and misconceptions in pupils’ learning.”
