Strengths
- “Wellfield Junior School is a friendly and welcoming school.”
- “Staff are determined to make sure pupils ‘care, respect, learn and succeed together’.”
- “There are supportive and respectful relationships between pupils and adults.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, staff have only recently started to provide sufficient opportunities to recap and recall earlier learning.”
- “This means that some pupils are less confident than they could be in recalling learning from previous years.”
- “However, for a few pupils who struggle to read, books are not matched closely enough to the sounds they know and are learning.”
