Strengths
- “Hugh Gaitskell Primary School is a calm and friendly place.”
- “Staff build positive relationships with pupils.”
- “This means that pupils know who they can go to for help or support when they need it.”
To improve
- “Pupils receive a mixed quality of education at the school.”
- “While pupils in some phases of the school progress well through the curriculum, others, including in the early years, do not receive the same level of effective support.”
- “Over time, too many pupils have not been ready for their next steps.”
