- “They say that everyone is welcome.”
To improve
- “However, pupils do not achieve as well as they should because the curriculum is not yet delivered effectively across all key stages.”
- “However, more work is needed to ensure that the curriculum is implemented effectively from early years to Year 6.”
- “These weaknesses were seen in the very low national test results in reading, writing and mathematics in 2023 at the end of Year 6.”
