Foundational Skills: Staff have expertise to teach phonics effectively; recent changes have improved reading skills significantly.
Success of the Curriculum: Pupils beginning to learn from a more coherently planned broad curriculum, but some subjects taught inconsistently.
Areas Needing Improvement: Inconsistencies in teaching and lack of precise knowledge sequencing prevent pupils from achieving well.

Teaching Staff Challenges: Inconsistent adherence to curriculum plans by teachers; gaps in pupil knowledge not always addressed.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Lack of systematic checks on pupil learning; further support needed for consistent curriculum delivery.
