What the school should improve
- The school does not ensure that all pupils become fluent in the basics of English and mathematics. This means that a small number of pupils do not develop secure enough knowledge to be ready for the next stage of their education. The trust should ensure that every child gains the basic knowledge they need to quickly become fluent in reading, writing and mathematics.
