Strengths
- “Pupils feel valued at this calm and welcoming school.”
- “They receive a high level of care from the staff.”
- “The comprehensive transition programme ensures that pupils settle in quickly and make a strong start to their time at the school.”
To improve
- “A small number of pupils do not receive the support that they need to develop their phonics knowledge.”
- “This is because the school has not set out its approach to the teaching of early reading.”
- “As a result, these pupils do not catch up quickly with the phonics knowledge that they need to become confident and fluent readers.”
