Strengths
- “Marlborough Primary School is a joyful place.”
- “Strong relationships benefit everyone, making it a happy environment in which to work and learn.”
- “Pupils explained that they are always kind because they respect each other’s differences.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, however, the subject content that pupils need to learn has not been broken down into sufficiently small steps.”
- “This means that pupils find it harder to know more and remember more in these subjects.”
- “In those subjects where curriculum content has not been broken down as clearly, assessment is not as precise.”
