What the school should improve
- Some staff lack confidence in teaching some aspects of the school phonics programme. This leads to some inconsistencies in the delivery of phonics and widens the gap that some pupils have in their phonics knowledge compared with their peers. Leaders should ensure that all staff continue to receive training and support to increase their confidence in teaching phonics.
- Some pupils do not have a well-developed understanding of fundamental British values. This means they have gaps in their awareness of aspects of life in modern Britain. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum provides pupils with the necessary opportunities to further develop their understanding of British values.
