School remains Good Inspected 30 November 2022
Strengths
- “There is a tangible community feel to this school, with strong relationships between pupils and staff.”
- “They said that their friends, and the staff, look after them well.”
- “Pupils have a good understanding of bullying.”
To improve
- “However, leaders have not identified the precise knowledge that they wish pupils to learn by the end of the early years as they move into Year 1.”
- “This limits pupils’ application of their prior knowledge to new learning.”
- “This means that for a small number of pupils their secure recall of phonics knowledge and their fluency in reading are still developing.”
