Strengths

- “They describe Starbeck as having ‘something for everyone’ and where ‘all people are treated the same’.”
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have a good understanding of equality.”
To improve

- “In this regard, the school does not use its phonics assessment consistently.”
- “The books that pupils are given to read do not always match the sounds that they have learned.”
