School remains Good Inspected 17 July 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils and staff are justifiably proud of how inclusive their school is.”
- “Everyone is made to feel welcome.”
- “Through the school’s ‘THRIVE’ values, pupils demonstrate genuine respect for each other and togetherness.”
To improve
- “However, there are some occasions when staff do not make the most of opportunities to maximise language development in their interactions with children.”
- “Staff deliver the programme effectively, but there are moments of inconsistency in how children are supported in applying their phonics knowledge.”
- “The curriculum to support pupils’ reading comprehension as they get older is strong, but there are not always enough opportunities for pupils to develop their reading fluency in lessons.”
