Strengths
- “At Holt Farm, pupils enjoy learning.”
- “They develop a sense of curiosity about the world.”
- “Teachers plan exciting activities across the curriculum.”
To improve
- “However, some Year 1 and Year 2 pupils who find learning to read difficult do not routinely receive the precise support they need.”
- “This is because some texts do not fully match the phonics scheme and are difficult for pupils to decode.”
- “These plans are not yet complete, and this work is in its early stages.”
