Strengths
- “Fairlawn Primary School is a place where learning and fun go hand in hand.”
- “Pupils learn the importance of study and play as two sides of the same coin.”
- “It is the seamless melding of classroom learning with playground fun that gives the school its unique ethos.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, the school has rightly identified that developing its arrangements to check learning in some of the wider curriculum subjects needs further work.”
- “For example, the school is currently looking at how best to check that pupils understand important ideas in history, not just facts.”
