Strengths
- “Pupils arrive each day to a warm greeting from caring staff who know them well.”
- “Everyone belongs in this welcoming school because they are part of the Ladybridge family.”
- “This is reflected in the way that older pupils look after the youngest children by helping them play games at breaktimes and by reading with them in the library.”
To improve
- “Pupils enjoy their lessons, however pupils’ achievement over time has not been high enough.”
- “This includes pupils’ attainment in national tests.”
- “However, some pupils, who did not benefit from this curriculum earlier on in their schooling, still have gaps in their knowledge and basic skills, and this slows their progress.”
