Strengths
- “There are warm and trusting relationships at Salisbury Primary.”
- “Staff meet pupils as they enter the school each morning with a friendly smile.”
- “Pupils feel safe and know that adults will listen to them if they have any concerns.”
To improve
- “Pupils enjoy the weekly enrichment activities but would like more opportunities to try new things.”
- “However, the range of opportunities pupils experience beyond the curriculum have not yet fully returned to pre-COVID 19 levels so pupils have limited opportunities to develop their resilience, independence and confidence.”
- “However, some do not learn them as quickly as they should.”
