Strengths
- “Pupils are encouraged to understand the importance of treating everyone equally and with respect.”
- “They work and play well alongside one another.”
- “Staff know the pupils well and ensure the right support is in place for them.”
To improve
- “However, not all staff have had training to check errors accurately or teach strategies to help pupils blend and decode words independently.”
- “On occasion, this means that some pupils do not develop fluency in reading as rapidly as they could.”
