Strengths
- “This is a welcoming, inclusive school.”
- “The school’s values, along with the individual class charters, are at the heart of school life.”
- “This helps pupils to develop a good understanding of difference, equality and respect.”
To improve
- “However, a small number of pupils do not have enough opportunities to practise and apply their new sounds.”
- “This slows down the rate at which they progress in becoming confident, fluent readers.”
- “In a small number of foundation subjects, the school is not checking how well the curriculum is working.”
