Strengths

- “They think it is a happy place.”
- “Despite the size of the school and the physical divide created by two sites, there is a strong sense of one community with a highly nurturing ethos.”
To improve
- “Staff also benefit from ongoing expert training, though, on occasion, not all deliver the school’s chosen phonics programme with the strict fidelity required.”
- “Where there is slight variation, this comes in the way that some staff implement the curriculum.”
- “Though staff generally plan adaptions to learning well, not all staff are as confident or skilled at checking pupils’ understanding or addressing misconceptions during lessons.”
