What the school should improve
- Leaders ensure that pupils who need help to improve their reading get it. However, they do not always ensure that this additional support matches pupils' identified needs. Leaders must make sure that additional early reading support addresses precisely any gaps in pupils' phonics knowledge so that all pupils catch up quickly.
- Leaders do not ensure that teachers are clear about which strategies to use to fully address the specific learning needs of pupils with SEND. Consequently, teachers do not always make effective adaptations to support these pupils' learning. Leaders must ensure that teachers receive effective advice on how best to support all pupils with SEND so that these pupils can progress as well as their peers.
