Ofsted
Requires improvement Inspected 10 July 2024
Strengths
- “Children and pupils feel safe and cared for.”
- “They are kind to each other, polite, articulate and confident.”
- “On the playground, older pupils take care of younger children as a matter of course.”
To improve
- “However, pupils do not make the progress they should in too many other subjects because the learning is not delivered as leaders intend.”
- “However, occasionally the support provided does not pay enough attention to ensuring that these pupils can understand what they are reading.”
- “In these cases, pupils struggle to follow the story so are less positive about the benefits of reading.”
