Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school and they feel happy and safe.”
- “Pupils like having responsibilities as this makes them feel independent.”
- “They carry out their roles with commitment and enthusiasm.”
To improve
- “This is not the case for a few pupils.”
- “This makes it harder for these pupils to progress with their reading as quickly as they could.”
- “However, for a small number of pupils in key stage 2 this extra help does not link precisely enough to their existing phonics knowledge.”
