Strengths

- “Pupils delight in being ‘friendship monitors’ and helping others at playtimes.”
To improve
- “The proportion of Year 1 pupils who met the expected standard in the phonics screening check in 2024 was well below the national average.”
- “However, there is some inconsistency in how effectively the school uses these checks to swiftly identify and address gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
- “This impacts how well some pupils learn.”
