Good Inspected 26 April 2022
Strengths
- “Staff have high expectations for pupils’ learning and behaviour.”
- “In the early years, staff establish important routines that support children to behave well and be ready to learn.”
- “This serves pupils well as they progress through school.”
To improve
- “However, activities involving writing do not always provide the same level of practice for pupils to use their phonic knowledge for spelling.”
- “This is causing the pace of curriculum delivery to be slower than expected.”
- “However, some pupils are regularly absent from school, which means they do not profit in the same way as their peers who attend well.”
