Strengths
- “Pupils arrive at St Mary’s Primary School with a beaming smile, ready for the day ahead.”
- “They are also keen and excited by learning new things.”
- “For example, pupils attend a debate club, and they compete at a national level in London.”
To improve
- “However, in one or two subjects, some pupils’ achievement is still not as secure as it could be.”
- “This is because, in these few remaining subjects, the curriculum is still being finalised.”
- “However, in a minority of cases, the precise adaptations that pupils require for their learning have not been thought out with sufficient clarity.”
