Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this school.”
- “Pupils develop strong and trusting bonds with staff.”
- “They are confident that they can talk with any member of staff if they feel worried.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, leaders do not routinely check how well teachers deliver the curriculum.”
- “This means that they do not provide teachers with useful advice and guidance to develop their subject expertise further.”
- “However, in 2022, the proportion of Year 1 pupils who did not meet the expected standard for the phonics screening check was low.”
