Strengths
- “Since the previous inspection, there have been several improvements at Paxton Primary.”
- “These have been driven by dedicated leaders and caring staff.”
- “Everyone wants the very best for pupils.”
To improve

- “For example, assessment is not consistently used to check what pupils know and can remember.”
- “This means that some pupils move on to new learning when they have gaps in their prior knowledge.”
