Strengths
- “Pupils have a thirst for learning and are highly attentive in their lessons.”
- “They are happy and behave well.”
- “Pupils are very polite to others when they move around the school.”
To improve
- “However, the school is less successful in helping a small number of pupils, including some pupils with SEND, to develop the necessary skills to blend familiar sounds together when reading new words.”
- “This limits these pupils’ ability to read as fluently as they otherwise could.”
- “However, the school’s overall implementation of this project is still in its early stages.”
