Strengths
- “Pupils becoming ‘bright stars’ is embodied in the school ethos of ‘Hear our voices, see us shine’.”
- “Pupils are confident to speak up and speak out.”
- “They recognise things that they can do now that they could not do when they were younger; they are confident about their futures.”
To improve
- “Although all staff have been trained to implement the school’s new phonics programme, further training is required to fully embed the early reading curriculum.”
- “Where aspects of the curriculum have undergone recent change, pupils’ learning sometimes needs to be more securely embedded so that they deepen their knowledge and understanding.”
