Strengths
- “There is a thriving sense of community in the school.”
- “Older pupils play alongside the younger ones and help them with their reading.”
- “For example, they give out awards to children showing ‘marvellous manners’.”
To improve
- “For some, there is still some way to go before they have the fluency they need.”
- “However, leaders’ approach to reading for older pupils does not ensure that every child reads and is read to regularly.”
- “The reading curriculum for older pupils could do more to promote pupils’ enjoyment of literature.”
