Strengths
- “Whatever their starting points, children and pupils become successful readers and writers at this school.”
- “Pupils read and write for pleasure and look forward to receiving books as rewards.”
- “Pupils describe how the school gives everyone the support they need with their learning.”
To improve
- “Leaders have identified that children’s early writing development may not always keep pace with their rapidly improving reading skills.”
- “Leaders are rightly looking to build on these achievements so that pupils secure outcomes that are consistently above the national average in key stage 2.”
- “Pupils’ knowledge is weaker in some subjects of the wider curriculum, where their understanding and work lack depth and they struggle to carry their learning with them into later topics.”
