Strengths
- “The school’s motto, 'enquiring minds and caring hearts', is lived out in daily life at Mills Hill Primary.”
- “Pupils are warmly welcomed into school by staff who care about them and encourage them to shine.”
- “Pupils, including those who face disadvantages, enjoy their learning and are eager to talk about what they are working on.”
To improve
- “Work to strengthen the writing curriculum is already under way in response to a dip in pupils' achievement in recent years.”
- “While some staff demonstrate clear modelling and teaching of writing and spelling, this is not consistent across all year groups.”
- “In a minority of classes, delivery is weaker and this hinders pupils’ progress.”
