St Cedd's Church of England Primary School has demonstrated continued good performance since its last inspection. Pupils appreciate the small, caring environment, contributing to their happiness and safety at school. The compassionate culture among pupils fosters respectful relationships, with effective handling of any bullying incidents. The school delivers a broad curriculum, encouraging a love of learning and preparing students well for future educational stages. Leaders have established ambitious curriculum plans, ensuring children, particularly in early years, enjoy engaging activities that enhance their learning abilities. Despite the school's strengths, there are identified areas needing improvement, particularly concerning phonics instruction. Some pupils do not read books that align with their phonics knowledge, which inhibits their fluency in reading. Additionally, a few students requiring extra phonics support do not receive targeted instruction that addresses their specific gaps. Leaders are urged to refine their approaches to phonics education to ensure all pupils become confident and fluent readers in a timely manner.
