Strengths
- “Pupils at Richard Cobden Primary School are happy in a safe and nurturing environment.”
- “Pupils typically behave well and get along with each other.”
- “Bullying is rare, and pupils know that staff listen to any concerns they may have.”
To improve
- “While published outcomes for the previous Year 1 phonics screening check are low, leaders have further prioritised communication and language for pupils who need the most support to keep up and catch up.”
- “However, in a few subjects, the curriculum is at the earlier stages of design and implementation.”
- “In these instances, curriculum thinking does not provide sufficient clarity for staff on which concepts pupils need to secure before moving on to more complex tasks.”
