Strengths
- “The school’s high expectations for pupils’ learning and behaviour enable pupils, including children in the early years, to flourish.”
- “Pupils achieve well across a range of subjects.”
- “They leave the school prepared for the next stage of their education.”
To improve
- “Even so, some pupils rely heavily on sounding out all of the words in a sentence.”
- “Consequently, this makes it harder for them to read books fluently.”
- “It also reduces their ability to understand what they are reading.”
