Strengths
- “Pupils arrive at school happy and ready to learn.”
- “Classrooms are positive places, with focused, hard-working pupils.”
- “Pupils benefit from effective support that removes barriers to learning and helps them to achieve well.”
To improve
- “Leaders recognise that further work is needed to strengthen handwriting and transcription so that more pupils write accurately across subjects.”
- “However, in writing, teachers do not consistently identify errors in transcription with enough precision.”
- “As a result, pupils do not always correct mistakes and sometimes repeat them.”
