Strengths
- “Leaders at Hurst Green Primary School have high expectations of all pupils.”
- “They have created a culture where pupils are nurtured, feel safe and achieve well.”
- “Pupils wear their uniforms with pride.”
To improve
- “Despite the careful attention to detail paid to what pupils should learn, not all teachers consistently follow this.”
- “For example, the vocabulary that should be taught is not always the vocabulary that is taught in lessons or on the knowledge organisers that pupils use.”
- “This means that although pupils can explain their learning, their explanations are not always as accurate or precise as they could be.”
