Strengths
- “Woodmancote is a welcoming school where everyone gets along.”
- “Pupils flourish because they learn in a caring and nurturing environment.”
- “The school’s values of ‘belong, aspire and achieve’ shine through in all pupils do.”
To improve
- “However, for the weakest readers, staff do not routinely develop pupils’ fluency when they listen to them read.”
- “This means that a minority of pupils do not become fluent readers quickly enough.”
- “However, in a few subjects, improvements to the curriculum are recent.”
