Strengths
- “Marsden Infant and Nursery School is warm and welcoming.”
- “Pupils arrive in the morning with smiles on their faces.”
- “They are kind, respectful and tolerant towards each other.”
To improve
- “The school’s ambitions for the pupils are not fully realised.”
- “Pupils, because the curriculum is not well sequenced and delivered, do not know and remember enough of the knowledge they need to succeed.”
- “In some subjects, the key knowledge and key vocabulary that pupils should learn are not outlined in the school’s planning.”
