Strengths
- “Hawthorn Primary is a school which fully lives out its values: individually we matter, together we shine.”
- “Pupils are very happy at the school because they are very well supported to achieve, and they know that their voices are heard.”
- “This starts right from the Early Years, where highly effective provision enables the youngest children to make a strong start to their schooling.”
To improve
- “On occasions, assessment is not used precisely enough to check pupils’ understanding.”
- “This means that misconceptions can remain, or opportunities are missed to move pupils on to more challenging work.”
- “On occasions, this analysis lacks the precise evaluation that supports effective review and clarity around next steps.”
