What the school should improve
- There are some inconsistencies in the school's approach to improve the quality of writing. The handwriting aspect of some pupils' work does not reflect the quality of their written work. The school should ensure that pupils are provided with the support they need to write with fluency and with accurate letter formation, so that they are well prepared for the next steps.
- The school does not have a consistent and rigorous approach to the teaching of times tables. As a result, pupils do not develop the mathematical fluency they need for future learning. The school needs to implement a clear approach to ensure pupils have secure knowledge and recall of multiplication facts.
