Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending Wellington Primary School.”
- “They thrive in the caring and harmonious environment that staff create.”
- “They understand the importance of treating everyone equally and fairly.”
To improve
- “For example, staff recognised that pupils’ depth of understanding was not as strong as it could be in a small number of subjects.”
- “Consequently, the school has revised the curriculum in these subjects The curriculum is less securely implemented in these areas.”
- “In those areas of the curriculum that have recently been revised, assessment is used less effectively to show how well pupils have learned the intended curriculum.”
