Strengths
- “In lessons, pupils enjoy reading and engage positively with tasks.”
- “Leaders and staff are starting to close gaps in pupils' reading, writing and mathematical knowledge.”
- “Pupils are starting to benefit from emerging inclusive practice.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, pupils struggle to complete their work and secure new knowledge when the learning is not closely matched to their level of understanding.”
- “However, it is too soon to see the impact on pupils' academic achievement.”
- “Previous weaknesses mean that too many pupils have not secured their speaking and listening, reading, writing and mathematical knowledge sufficiently well by the end of Year 6.”
