Strengths
- “This is a welcoming and friendly school.”
- “The school helps pupils new to the school get the support they need from the moment they start.”
- “Pupils settle quickly into the life of the school.”
To improve
- “On occasions, strategies do not enable younger pupils to develop fluency in their reading as quickly as they could.”
- “The school does not consistently review older pupils’ choice of books or guide them towards books that match their stage of reading.”
- “The school recognises that, at this early stage of implementation, further consideration needs to be given to address previous gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
