To improve
- “While most pupils attend regularly, a small number still miss too much learning time.”
- “In 2025, there was a dip in the Year 4 multiplication check outcomes.”
- “Improvements in writing are evident, although some pupils still make errors in spelling and handwriting, and this affects the quality and standard of written work.”
