Strengths
- “The school is very ambitious for the achievement of pupils.”
- “Pupils benefit from effective personal, social and emotional support.”
- “This contributes highly to how well pupils achieve.”
To improve
- “The school’s provisional published data in 2024 shows that the proportion of pupils who met the expected standard in the Year 1 phonics screening check was below the national average.”
- “That said, a few younger pupils still concentrate too much on understanding the sounds that different letters make.”
- “This means that they sometimes lose fluency when reading.”
