Ofsted
Good Inspected 24 November 2022
Strengths
- “Inspire, nurture and challenge (INC) lie at the heart of Whitecote Primary School.”
- “Pupils are keen to know if they have won the ‘INC’ award in weekly assemblies.”
- “Since the last inspection, leaders and governors have improved the school.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, how and what teachers check is not consistent or precise enough.”
- “As a result, teachers do not have an accurate enough picture of what pupils need to be taught next.”
- “However, for some pupils with SEND, the adaptations planned by teachers are not fully delivered.”
