Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming and inclusive school.”
- “Leaders expect all pupils to be successful.”
- “Pupils rise to these high expectations and take pride in their work.”
To improve
- “However, for pupils in key stage 2 the reading curriculum is less developed.”
- “This slows down the rate at which they develop their reading once they have mastered phonics.”
- “In some other subjects, teachers do not always check with enough precision that pupils remember the important knowledge well enough.”
