Strengths
- “The school’s motto, ‘let all that you do be done in love’ permeates the way in which pupils and staff treat one another.”
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from being part of a school that has high expectations for their academic success.”
- “Pupils achieve well, especially in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of key stage 2.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils do not keep pace with the phonics programme.”
- “The additional support that they receive does not help them to catch up.”
- “This limits their success in meeting the expected standard in the Year 1 phonics screening check.”
