Strengths

- “They work hard to embody the school’s values of ‘curiosity, imagination, collaboration, resilience and discipline’.”
- “Pupils demonstrate these through their hard work and caring attitudes to one another.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, assessment is not used well enough to plan longer-term support and narrow gaps in learning.”
- “The school has planned the teaching of phonics carefully but this is not taught consistently well.”
- “Teachers do not always ensure that pupils practise phonics effectively enough.”
