What This School Does Well
St Anne's is a caring school where every child is known and valued. The school's Christian values shine through in all activities, and staff work hard to support each child's emotional and physical wellbeing. Reading is a priority from the early years onwards, with a new library encouraging pupils to develop a genuine love of books.
Key Strengths

- Effective early reading programme with well-planned phonics teaching and guided reading in Key Stage 2
- Excellent support for pupils with special educational needs, with appropriate adaptations enabling them to access the curriculum
- High staff morale and effective leadership with strong governance and external support
Areas for Improvement

- Mathematics teaching lacks clarity about key knowledge and how it should be broken down into logical steps, creating gaps in pupil understanding
- Some assessment checks are not thorough enough to identify exactly what pupils need to learn next
