Lowton Junior and Infant School has dropped its rating from a ‘Good’ to a ‘Requires Improvement’ (RI) after the inspection at the beginning of January.

“Children do not learn phonics from the very start of the Reception class,” the report, published on March 9, said. “Added to this, some books do not match the sounds that children and pupils have learned.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Some folks have it easy, and others make life difficult for themselves. Guess which type “Problemista” is about. The perpetually unsatisfied title character, a demanding New York art critic played by Tilda Swinton as a hag with hair the color of hibiscus tea, is obsessed with archiving the life’s work of her late husband (RZA), who left behind a series of egg paintings no one seems to understand. Swinton feels like a future Halloween costume in search of a movie in writer-director Julio Torres’ overly kooky and all-too-quixotic debut — another attention-deficit comedy from the studio that made “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” except that Torres lacks the technical experience to pull off even a fraction of the ideas to which he aspires.
