Pupils do not learn new things in a logical order. Instead, teachers pick lesson content and activities as they wish and without coherence. This leads to gaps in pupils’ knowledge and skills because teachers miss out key content. It also leads to repetition of what pupils have already covered and know. Staff do not expect enough of pupils. Staff do not teach pupils to read. They do not ensure that children in early years learn phonics. This means that pupils do not learn to read fluently. Staff do not support pupils’ language and communication skills as well as they should. Pupils do not have sufficient opportunities to learn and reach a good standard in written and spoken English. Pupils like school. They know that staff keep them safe. They get on well with each other. Staff take care of pupils. They know each pupil very well. Staff make sure that bullying is not a problem. They deal with any issues that may arise quickly and well. At playtimes, pupils enjoy riding the school’s bikes. They play together sensibly. Usually, pupils’ behaviour in lessons is settled.
