Strengths
- “This is a happy, caring and welcoming school.”
- “Pupils are kind and respectful.”
- “They thrive in a supportive and aspirational environment.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, exactly what pupils need to know is not set out clearly.”
- “This means that teachers are not always clear about how to help pupils build their learning towards the challenging curriculum goals that the school has set.”
- “However, although all staff have been trained in how to deliver phonics, there is inconsistency in how well this is taught.”
