Strengths
- “Pupils thrive in this welcoming and inclusive school.”
- “They live out the four school values, including ‘perseverance’ and ‘honesty’.”
- “Pupils treat each other with kindness and respect.”
To improve
- “Some aspects of the new phonics programme are still being developed and are not consistently in place.”
- “For some children in early years and pupils in key stage 1, their writing of the letters they have been taught in phonics is not closely checked and corrected when errors happen.”
- “This means that mistakes in pupils’ letter formation increase over time and continue when pupils use what they have learned in their writing.”
