Strengths
- “Wibsey Primary School is a safe and welcoming community.”
- “Staff have high expectations of pupils’ attitudes and behaviour.”
- “Behaviour in lessons is calm and focused.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, there is a lack of clarity around the most important content that pupils should learn and by when.”
- “Staff do not consistently check that pupils understand and remember the most important learning with enough precision.”
- “As in the curriculum for key stages 1 and 2, there is still some work to do to identify small steps in knowledge.”
