Strengths
- “Pupils love coming to school and attend well.”
- “They quickly develop a sense of belonging in this inclusive school, where every child is known.”
- “Staff greet pupils warmly when they arrive.”
To improve
- “Leaders have rightly focused on phonics, where outcomes at the end of Year 1 in previous years are lower than they would like.”
- “Leaders recognise that while achievement at the end of key stage 2 is positive, this is not always matched by the quality of work in books.”
- “In some classes, foundational skills are not always addressed, particularly in handwriting, spelling and grammatical features.”
