Strengths
- “Alma Park Primary School is a welcoming and friendly place.”
- “Pupils arrive at school each morning happy, looking forward to the day ahead.”
- “Leaders have cultivated a kind and considerate school community where people’s differences are celebrated.”
To improve
- “For these subjects, teachers have not had the opportunity to put into practice the related professional development.”
- “As a result, sometimes they do not choose the most appropriate activities to enable pupils to learn and remember essential knowledge and vocabulary sufficiently well.”
- “However, in some subjects they do not use assessments effectively in order to pinpoint gaps in pupils’ learning of the intended curriculum so that they can adapt future teaching.”
