Strengths
- “Leaders, staff, pupils and governors are proud of their school.”
- “Pupils come into school excited to see their friends and ready to learn.”
- “Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the education that their children receive.”
To improve
- “As the curriculum for this subject is still relatively new, pupils do not remember and draw sufficiently upon previous knowledge, and they still have some gaps in their learning.”
- “In some year groups, some pupils are not applying the spelling patterns and grammar rules that they have learned, and the quality of pupils’ handwriting is variable.”
- “This impedes the fluency of the recording of learning across the curriculum.”
