Strengths
- “Heavers Farm is a welcoming and friendly school.”
- “Pupils play happily together at social times, showing respect and kindness.”
- “Pupils trust adults to deal with any worries that they may have.”
To improve
- “However, the high-quality curriculum that is now in place needs time to fully embed.”
- “Its impact is not fully reflected in pupils’ outcomes in some areas in the 2022 national assessments.”
- “However, when hearing pupils read, there are occasions where staff do not focus pupils’ attention on practising and applying their phonics knowledge.”
