Strengths
- “Children get off to a flying start in the Reception Year.”
- “They are skilfully supported by staff to quickly develop strong communication skills.”
- “Children thrive in the early years.”
To improve
- “The school’s curriculum for pupils in Years 1 to 6 matches the ambition of the early years in some subjects.”
- “Nevertheless, the essential knowledge leaders want pupils to know and remember is not identified in some wider curriculum subjects.”
- “In such cases, teaching does not check pupils’ subject knowledge and, sometimes, moves on to the next learning activity too quickly.”
