School remains Good Inspected 13 September 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils are safe and happy at this welcoming and friendly school.”
- “They enjoy playing in the school’s large grounds and even sometimes taking Lola, the school dog, for a walk.”
- “Pupils said that adults listen to them and help them if they have any worries.”
To improve
- “In a few instances, the school has not made sure that the phonics programme is delivered with precision.”
- “While gaps in pupils’ phonics knowledge are identified and planned for, these gaps are not being addressed as rapidly as they could be for a small number of pupils.”
- “There are also occasions where pupils who have fallen behind with reading are practising with books that are too difficult for them.”
