Strengths
- “Pupils at Alder Coppice Primary School live up to the school’s motto of ‘achievement through commitment’.”
- “The school has high expectations for all pupils socially, emotionally and academically, including for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “Pupils use the school’s ‘learning climates’ well in lessons to learn together.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, there is sometimes too much information identified for pupils to remember and, as a result, they struggle to recall some intended learning.”
- “However, some pupils still do not attend school regularly enough or on time.”
- “This means that these pupils miss out on important learning and develop gaps in their knowledge.”
