What the school should improve
- Staff do not provide the right support to help some pupils who struggle to read, particularly in key stage 1. As a result, some pupils are not consolidating their understanding of phonics and developing fluency. Leaders need to ensure that pupils who are in danger of falling behind receive relevant and precise support, so they become confident and fluent readers.
- The key content that pupils need to know has not been identified in some subjects across the wider curriculum. As a result, pupils are not always clear on what they need to know and remember. Leaders need to ensure that knowledge is clearly identified and sequenced across all subjects, so pupils know more and remember more over time.
