Strengths
- “Pupils in this school are well looked after.”
- “They are kept safe, because as they pointed out: ‘We are always surrounded by adults we can trust.”
- “Leaders and teachers are ambitious for all pupils.”
To improve
- “In a very small number of cases, younger pupils’ reading books contain one or two sounds that they know less well.”
- “When this happens, it decreases pupils’ confidence to apply their knowledge of phonics.”
- “Occasionally, however, teaching does not ensure that pupils fully understand all of the key elements of knowledge needed to complete a more complex task.”
