Strengths
- “Pupils, including children in early years, at Moston Lane Community Primary School enjoy coming to school.”
- “They are ready and keen to learn.”
- “Pupils are greeted by welcoming staff.”
To improve
- “In the minority of subjects where leaders have not finalised their curriculum thinking, teachers are sometimes unclear about the order in which new information should be taught.”
- “From time to time, this prevents teachers from choosing the most appropriate activities to help pupils to acquire new knowledge.”
- “Occasionally, this hinders some pupils from learning all that they could.”
