Strengths
- “Pupils flourish at this school.”
- “They take part in a rich personal development programme that builds confidence, leadership and ambition.”
- “Pupils, including those facing disadvantage, meet role models from a wide range of professional careers.”
To improve
- “However, they do not always apply spelling and grammar skills consistently in subjects outside of English lessons.”
- “When they miss these opportunities for extra practice, some, especially disadvantaged pupils, do not achieve well in grammar, punctuation, and spelling assessments at the end of Year 6.”
- “In the multiplication check in Year 4 published outcomes do not fully reflect pupils’ achievement over time.”
