Strengths
- “Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are confident and caring at this small, inclusive school.”
- “Pupils are proud to say that they help each other.”
- “They thrive when taking on responsibilities, such as the older pupils helping the younger ones at playtimes.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, however, the curriculum is at an earlier stage of development, which means pupils are not yet achieving all that they could.”
- “Most pupils take home books that are matched closely to the sounds they have learned, but for some pupils staff are still refining and checking this to make sure that books are not too challenging.”
- “There is a clear approach to teaching reading which builds phonic knowledge, but this has only recently been implemented, so there is some further work to do to make sure that it is helping all pupils to learn consistently well.”
