Strengths
- “This aim starts in the early years, where nurturing staff help children to build secure foundations for future success.”
- “Staff model language and take the time to explain new words.”
- “Children quickly learn the sounds and letters that they need to know to begin to read and write successfully.”
To improve
- “Attendance is below the national average but leaders identify the reason why some pupils are absent.”
- “While some older pupils still show inconsistencies in their writing accuracy, younger pupils form letters more accurately and with greater consistency.”
- “In newer areas, pupils are still at an earlier stage of building this knowledge as the curriculum becomes embedded.”
