Strengths

- “Leaders have high expectations for all pupils.”
- “Pupils, staff and parents value the ‘family feel’ and the importance put on pupils’ well-being.”
To improve
- “As the phonics scheme is new, reading books, including in the early years, are not always matched to the sounds pupils learn in their new phonics lessons.”
- “Sometimes, pupils are being asked to read words with sounds they do not know.”
- “Pupils are able to recall in some subjects what they have learned, but this is not the case in all subjects.”
