Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending Bellfield Junior School and most attend regularly.”
- “Pupils arrive each day ready to learn and take pride in being part of the school community.”
- “Staff know pupils well and build positive relationships based on mutual respect and trust.”
To improve
- “Pupils are increasingly developing accurate spelling and handwriting, although further improvements remain a focus.”
- “However, variability in teachers' expectations of legibility and fluency of handwriting means that attainment in writing is not as strong as it is in reading and mathematics.”
- “However, teachers do not always use assessment effectively to adapt learning opportunities to enable all pupils to achieve their full potential across the curriculum.”
