Strengths
- “This is a welcoming and inclusive school.”
- “The school’s vision, ‘Learn together, live together’, is at the heart of all the school provides.”
- “Staff have high expectations of pupils’ achievement and behaviour.”
To improve
- “However, the teaching of the reading curriculum beyond phonics is not yet implemented consistently.”
- “This means that pupils do not routinely develop wider reading skills, such as comprehension, as well as they should.”
- “However, occasionally, they do not swiftly identify when pupils have made errors.”
