What the school should improve
- There is an inconsistent approach to providing pupils with opportunities to apply their physical writing skills and build stamina in their writing. As a result, some pupils are not well supported to develop the writing skills they need for their next stages in education. The school should further develop opportunities for pupils to apply their knowledge and skills in their writing in order to strengthen their confidence and fluency.
