Over time, pupils develop a deep body of knowledge that interconnects between subjects.
The school has successfully promoted a love of reading. Children in the Nursery Year listen to engaging stories.
This helps to develop their communication and language skills well. Older pupils read widely and often. They chatted enthusiastically to the inspectors about their favourite genres and authors.
Children start learning the phonics curriculum as soon as they begin in the Reception class. They practise reading using books that are carefully matched to the sounds that they already know. Staff routinely check that pupils are keeping up with the pace of the phonics programme.
