Strengths
- “Pupils at Rothwell Primary School are happy and safe.”
- “Pupils are cared for and supported well by all staff.”
- “They trust staff to help them if they have any worries.”
To improve
- “In some lessons, teachers do not focus their teaching clearly enough on the most important content that pupils need to learn.”
- “For example, when teaching writing, teachers sometimes focus on broad aims such as ‘writing a diary entry’ but do not ensure that all pupils are secure in their knowledge of the language, grammar and topic knowledge that they are expected to use in their writing.”
- “In some cases, pupils lack the wider knowledge necessary to make sense of these experiences.”
