Strengths
- “The school is a calm and encouraging environment for pupils and their families.”
- “Parents are kept well informed about what and how their children are being taught and so many continue to help them at home.”
- “Children in the early years learn and follow routines exceptionally well.”
To improve
- “However, this strong start is not built on successfully in some parts of English other than phonics.”
- “Some pupils are not as confident in their reading and writing as they need to be.”
- “There is currently a focus on developing pupils’ spoken language due to the gaps in their speaking and understanding that many pupils have.”
