Strengths
- “Pupils are happy to attend Gilbertstone Primary School.”
- “They know that they are looked after by kind adults, who know them well.”
- “The school provides high levels of support for pupils with physical, learning or emotional health needs.”
To improve
- “As a result, pupils’ understanding in some subjects does not yet reflect the school’s ambition.”
- “For example, in art, pupils can recall artists they are learning about now, but struggle to remember what they have been previously taught.”
- “However, sometimes learning is not adapted quickly enough to enable some pupils receiving SEND support to deepen their knowledge and understanding.”
