Strengths
- “Balliol Primary School has been through a period of rapid improvement.”
- “Pupils value the many positive changes that leaders have made.”
- “Improvements to behaviour mean that pupils now learn in calm and purposeful classrooms.”
To improve
- “On occasion, some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities struggle to meet these standards.”
- “However, some pupils do not yet achieve as highly as they should and this limits the proportion of pupils who are well prepared for secondary school.”
- “However, a small number of pupils are still absent too often.”
