From Ofsted report, inspected Jun 2024

Strengths

  • “Pupils are encouraged to understand the importance of treating everyone equally and with respect.”
  • “They work and play well alongside one another.”
  • “Staff know the pupils well and ensure the right support is in place for them.”

To improve

  • “Not all staff have had training to check errors accurately or teach strategies to help pupils blend and decode words independently.”
  • “Occasionally, when pupils read, adults do not check accuracy or correct pupils’ errors quickly or precisely.”
  • “Leaders should make sure that all adults have the necessary training to enable them to systematically address reading accuracy and mistakes.”
