"Learning to read is a priority. Staff deliver the phonics programme well. They excite pupils about reading and books. Teachers seize regular opportunities to read high-quality texts to their classes. Children learn to read as soon as they start in the Reception Year...This means that pupils are now becoming more confident readers by the end of Year 2." OFSTED May 2023
