What This School Does Well

Teachers have strong subject knowledge and use innovative teaching techniques to help pupils learn and remember more. Early years provision is particularly strong, giving children the best possible start to their education.
Key Strengths
- Strong teaching with good subject knowledge - teachers use effective techniques like 'flashback 4' questions and 'turn and talk' to help pupils recall and connect learning

- Pupils develop a genuine love of reading and read with expression

Areas for Improvement
- Additional reading support for weaker readers is inconsistent - some pupils' pronunciation errors are not always corrected, causing them to repeat mistakes
- New behaviour policy has not yet fully embedded across the school, leading to occasional inconsistencies
- Parent and community relationships need strengthening after a recent period of leadership changes
Safeguarding
