Strengths
- “Thornhill Primary school is a school where ‘everyone matters’.”
- “They are kind, welcoming and polite.”
- “Staff nurture pupils and care for them well.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, such as science or history, leaders are strengthening curriculum plans so that they consistently set out the subject-specific knowledge that pupils should learn in each year group.”
- “However, for some pupils, teachers do not use this information to ensure that the work that they set matches pupils’ stages in learning.”
- “Some pupils are taught letter sounds that they are not ready for.”
