Ofsted

“Literacy and mathematical skills are taught well across a range of subjects. This is due to the fact that all subjects see it as their responsibility to develop these skills. Pupils enjoy reading and choose books which present a good degree of challenge. The most able pupils make good use of their phonics skills to pronounce unknown words.”
