What the school should improve
- Some younger pupils who find reading difficult do not have enough practice in reading. This makes it harder for them to build their confidence and reading stamina. Leaders should ensure that these pupils have opportunities to read regularly so that they become fluent readers by the end of key stage 1.
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly enough. This prevents these pupils from learning as well as they should. Leaders should support these pupils and their families to attend school regularly so that some pupils' poor attendance does not hamper their learning and progress through the curriculum.
