Strengths
- “Pupils at this school live and breathe the school’s ‘Pinders’ values.”
- “The values are woven through everything they do.”
- “Pupils describe how they shape the expectations for everyone in the school community.”
To improve
- “As a result, pupils are not remembering the most important knowledge in some units of work.”
- “For example, in art, pupils study the local artist Barbara Hepworth, but they struggle to identify the essential facts relating to her life.”
- “The phonic outcomes achieved by Year 1 pupils in 2022 did not benefit from the improvements the school has made to its phonic teaching.”
