Strengths
- “Pupils at Mersey Vale are proud of their school.”
- “They treat each other with kindness and respect.”
- “Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are happy.”
To improve
- “However, in some other subjects, the school does not have a clear oversight of how well the curriculum is helping children in the early years, and pupils in key stages 1 and 2, to learn all that they should.”
- “This stops it from identifying when some aspects are not taught as well as intended.”
- “At times, this hinders some pupils’ progress through the curriculum.”
