Strengths
- “Staff at Lyng Primary School have created a warm and nurturing environment that embraces and celebrates difference and allows pupils to thrive.”

- “Any upsets are quickly sorted by staff who know their pupils well.”
To improve
- “However, the impact of those changes has yet to be realised.”
- “Some pupils still have gaps in their mathematical knowledge that teachers have not addressed.”
- “There remains inconsistency in the implementation of the mathematics curriculum because not all teachers are checking pupils’ understanding of mathematical concepts before moving on.”
