Strengths
- “Leaders have high expectations for pupils.”
- “They provide pupils with opportunities to fulfil their Christian vision to ‘Let their light shine’.”
- “Leaders ensure that pupils behave with consistently high levels of respect for each other.”
To improve
- “However, some adults, including volunteers, have not had training to effectively support pupils’ reading.”
- “This means they do not replicate the strategies modelled by the teacher.”
- “However, in some instances, they do not correspond and it is not clear how key stage 1 builds on the prior learning from early years.”
