Strengths

To improve

  • “The school has identified the essential knowledge, disciplinary skills and vocabulary that pupils should learn.”
  • “However, sometimes the specific knowledge and skills that pupils need to learn are not delivered routinely clearly.”
  • “The school has ensured that all staff have had training in the school’s systematic synthetic phonics scheme.”
