Strengths

- “Pupils are happy and enjoy their education.”

To improve
- “However, there is a small amount of variability in how well the curriculum is taught, leading to pupils not always learning as deeply as leaders intend.”
- “The school recognised that some younger children had not kept up with the pace of the phonics programme.”
- “However, the books pupils are given to practise reading are sometimes introduced slightly too soon.”
