Strengths
- “Pupils delight in coming to school.”
- “A mix of smiling faces, friendly chatter and kind words are abundant as pupils arrive each day.”
- “Pupils young and old mix and play together with ease, with the oldest pupils keeping an eye out for any younger pupils who may need a friendly face or reassuring words to help them along.”
To improve
- “A small number of pupils, though, are not provided with sufficient opportunity to apply and practise what they learn in phonics to their writing.”
- “This means they do not use what they know to help them spell words with increasing accuracy.”
