Impact on Student Progress: Strong subject knowledge among teachers and well-organized presentations help pupils remember what they've been taught.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers assess pupils' phonics regularly, ensuring books match taught sounds; however, some assessments in wider curriculum subjects need refinement.
