Strengths
- “Cobham Free School serves pupils well.”
- “As the school has grown over time, leaders have remained true to the ethos they established from the outset: Optimum Omnibus – the best for all.”
- “They have established a safe and welcoming community, where aspirations and expectations are high.”
To improve
- “Changes to how reading is taught are working well in Reception to Year 2, albeit with more to do to make teaching even more precise and consistent.”
- “In Year 3 and beyond, support for weaker readers is appropriate, although not linked as well as it could be to the new approach being used in key stage 1.”
