Strengths
- “Walpole Cross Keys is a small, friendly school which serves the local community well.”
- “There is a strong sense of camaraderie and pupils benefit from being part of this closeknit environment.”
- “Older pupils and their younger peers learn well together.”
To improve
- “Although readers in the early stages of learning to read are positive about reading, this is not always the case for pupils who have completed the phonics programme.”
- “The wider reading curriculum is not always well matched to what pupils enjoy reading.”
- “Many pupils lack enthusiasm and do not demonstrate a love of reading as the books they are given do not interest them.”
