What the school should improve
- Some pupils at the early stages of reading, who have gaps in their phonic knowledge, do not always get regular support. This means that they do not read as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that these pupils get regular interventions to help them catch up quickly.
- At certain times, during breaktimes and lunchtimes, the playground gets busy. This means that some pupils cannot always play safely together. Leaders should consider the activities they offer at these times. Leaders should also communicate to pupils how they expect them to use the playground space.
