From Ofsted report, inspected May 2023

Strengths

  • “Pupils are happy and enjoy coming to school.”
  • “Leaders have established a strong sense of community.”
  • “Pupils behave well and take their lessons seriously.”

To improve

  • “In some cases, phonics sessions include a range of different activities that can detract from learning phonics sounds.”
  • “As a result, occasionally teaching is not as helpful as it could be in enabling pupils to learn the strategies they need to decode unknown words.”
  • “Leaders should ensure that teachers focus sharply on the phonics sounds that pupils are learning.”
