Strengths
- “Pupils love attending this school as there is so much to see and do.”
- “In addition to their stimulating lessons, pupils have an array of clubs to choose from.”
- “As pupils exclaimed, ‘there is something for everyone’.”
To improve
- “While outcomes in reading have been consistently high at the end of key stage 2, this has not been the case recently for younger pupils sitting the phonics screening check.”
- “However, there is inconsistency in how staff support children when they listen to them read one to one.”
- “This means some pupils do not get the help they need to practise their decoding and blending.”
