Strengths
- “Marsh Hill Primary is a happy and welcoming place to be.”
- “Pupils’ well-being and sense of worth are high priorities for the school.”
- “The obvious care that staff have for the pupils helps them to feel valued and safe.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, however, the use of these resources is not necessary for all pupils as they already have a secure understanding of the concepts being explored.”
- “This can lead to some pupils finding the work they do too easy.”
- “However, in some parts of the curriculum there is more focus on a breadth of knowledge than a deep understanding of some important themes.”
