Strengths
- “Pupils, along with their parents and carers, receive a warm welcome from leaders and staff at the start of each school day.”
- “This provides an opportunity for parents to share important information about pupils, allowing the school to quickly address any issues that may arise.”
- “Having adults in school who listen and resolve problems helps to keep pupils happy and safe.”
To improve
- “However, the approach to writing currently lacks enough opportunities for children to connect their phonics knowledge to their writing.”
- “As a result, some children struggle to make connections, which affects their confidence and interest in writing.”
- “In a few foundation subjects, work is underway to finetune systems to check what pupils know and can do to better inform teaching.”
