Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected Sep 2022

Strengths

  • “This is a cheerful and welcoming school.”
  • “Pupils are polite, considerate and respectful to each other and the adults.”
  • “From the earliest opportunity, staff encourage children to speak out if they feel something is making them feel uncomfortable or unhappy.”

To improve

  • “This limits the effectiveness with which pupils build up their knowledge and skills in these subjects.”
  • “Leaders are in the early stages of embedding the new programme for teaching phonics beyond the early years.”
  • “Where this is combined with existing strategies in Years 1 to 6, the impact for pupils who need extra support with reading is not as strong as it could be.”
