Pupils are very happy here. They behave well and enjoy their lessons. They are taught the importance of kindness through learning to share and to help each other. The curriculum covers a broad range of subjects and is logically sequenced. The school has introduced a new phonics programme. Pupils now learn to read and write in English from the Reception Year. They have daily teaching in English, which supports their language development. However, the delivery of the phonics programme does not support pupils as routinely well in developing reading confidence and fluency. Through the curriculum for personal, social and health education (PSHE) pupils are encouraged to understand their emotions and those of others. The curriculum includes teaching about family relationships and the importance of respecting others. Pupils are taught about cultures and traditions other than their own. Teachers now receive regular training. This includes training on how to deliver the new curriculum and the English reading programme. The school has not ensured that teachers, including those in the early years, have all the knowledge they need to teach the planned curriculum fully effectively. This reduces how successfully pupils learn and retain information in the long term.
