What the school should improve
- Some pupils, who are at the early stages of learning to write, are given work that is too challenging for them. This results in pupils who have not grasped the basics of writing struggling with tasks they do not have the skills and knowledge to complete. The school should ensure that it provides pupils with appropriate teaching and catch-up support to secure basic writing skills so that they will be able to complete more complex written tasks with success.
