What the school should improve
- The systems to support pupils at the early stages of reading are not fully developed. This means that a few pupils do not learn to ready quickly enough. The school should embed practices to ensure that staff are well trained in this area and can quickly meet the needs of pupils to catch up with their reading to an age-appropriate level.
- The processes for and oversight of supporting pupils with SEND is sometimes inconsistent. This means that some pupils with SEND do not receive effective support. The school should ensure that they review pupils' needs in a timely way and that these are clearly communicated to staff so that strategies to support pupils are implemented consistently.
