Strengths
- “Pupils feel valued at Mytham Primary School.”
- “Leaders have created a safe place for pupils to learn.”
- “Pupils arrive happy and they are keen to get their day underway.”
To improve
- “However, from time to time, teachers do not use the assessment information that they have as effectively as they could to address pupils’ misconceptions and adapt the delivery of the curriculum to recap important information.”
- “However, on occasions, staff do not make sure that a few pupils use their reading skills often enough to become fluent readers.”
