Strengths
- “The pupils, their parents and the staff agree that Pencombe Church of England Primary School is like one big family.”
- “There is a strong sense of community and belonging here; pupils don’t just attend ‘this’ school, they attend ‘their’ school.”
- “Pupils behave well in class and during playtimes.”
To improve
- “However, the school has not been explicit enough about how adults hear pupils read and this is inconsistent.”
- “As a result, weaker readers do not get the quality of reading practise they need to develop fluency as quickly as they could.”
