Strengths
- “Relationships between pupils and members of staff at Forest Hall Primary School are very positive.”
- “As a result of this, pupils feel safe in school.”
- “Pupils know and carry through the school routines well, for example going straight to their cloakrooms and hanging their coats and bags independently, before going into class.”
To improve
- “However, there are too many pupils who arrive late to school and disrupt the start of the school day for others.”
- “There are also too many pupils missing out on their learning due to absence from school.”
- “Variability in teaching and the delivery of the curriculum means that some pupils do not learn foundational skills well enough.”
