Strengths
- “Everyone at Madani is committed to providing pupils with a high-quality education underpinned by the school’s Islamic values.”
- “An aspirational culture flows through everything, and pupils know to work hard.”
- “They see the good in others, show respect and tolerance and demonstrate impressive attributes.”
To improve
- “However, pupils are not consistently reading books that match the planned phonics curriculum.”
- “Sometimes, pupils can read other books that contain sounds they do not yet know.”
- “This slows down pupils’ progress in learning to read.”
