What the school should improve
- Some guided reading sessions are not well organised and are not suitably ambitious for all pupils. This means that some pupils do not make the progress of which they are capable. Leaders should monitor these sessions to ensure that across the school, guided reading demonstrates suitable ambition for pupils and contributes well to developing their reading fluency, confidence and enjoyment.
- Leaders have thought carefully about the essential, subject-specific vocabulary that they would like pupils to know by the end of each key stage. However, systems to check pupils' understanding and knowledge of these words are at an early stage of development. Leaders should continue to refine and embed curriculum planning, so that pupils' vocabulary builds year on year.
