Strengths
- “Staff and pupils provide a warm welcome to all at Blakesley Hall Primary School.”
- “Pupils understand the importance of treating everyone with respect, including those with alternative beliefs or different backgrounds.”
- “This is evident through pupils’ daily interactions and their consideration of others.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils, including those who speak English as an additional language, leave school without reaching the standards expected for their age.”
- “This is because they have not acquired sufficiently strong English language skills.”
- “The school has identified key subjectspecific language that pupils need to know and learn, but this is not sufficiently prioritised.”
