What the school should improve
- Teachers do not consistently adapt work the way the school intends so it meets the needs of some pupils. This means some pupils, including those with SEND, struggle to access the curriculum or learn the important knowledge the school intends. The school should ensure teachers are able to adapt their teaching to provide learning activities that enable all pupils to learn and achieve consistently achieve well.
- Misconceptions in early reading are not always identified and acted on. This means some pupils who have fallen behind in their reading do not catch up quickly enough. The school should ensure all staff identify and act on misconceptions pupils make in early reading, so all pupils learn to read with the confidence and fluency expected for their age.
