Strengths
- “Pupils' behaviour is exceptional.”
- “They follow The Kingsmoor Way and can explain how rules and routines create a happy, safe environment.”
- “For example, pupils face the teacher when listening, helping them to hear clearly and see what is being shown.”
To improve
- “In key stages 1 and 2, pupils write often in different subjects, but at times, the teaching of writing does not focus enough on the key aspects they need to secure for their age.”
- “So, mistakes in grammar, punctuation and spelling persist, making their writing less clear.”
- “Leaders recognise this, but their work to address it is at an early stage.”
