Strengths
- “This school is an inclusive, safe and welcoming place where pupils from a wide variety of backgrounds get on well and respect one another.”
- “This is because the school has high expectations of their behaviour.”
- “It also gives pupils ambitious academic goals to aim for.”
To improve
- “Currently, provision for phonics requires further work to strengthen consistency and boost achievement in key stage 1.”
- “However, in some subjects, opportunities for pupils to revisit and use key basic knowledge in order to remember important content are underdeveloped.”
- “In addition, assessment sometimes targets short-term recall rather than deeper knowledge.”
