Strengths

“Pupils are proud to be part of this caring, inclusive, and welcoming school.”
“The school is ambitious for pupils.”
“In lessons, pupils focus on their learning and develop a sound understanding of the things they have been taught.”

To improve

“In recent years, prolonged staffing vacancies have hampered the school’s work.”
“However, sometimes, staff do not make sure that pupils have understood the sounds they need to know before moving on in their phonics teaching.”
“Consequently, teachers do not always adapt their teaching to bridge gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
