Strengths
- “Hedworth Lane Primary School is, rightly, proud of being a place of learning and caring.”
- “The school has very high expectations of pupils.”
- “Pupils are clear about the rules and follow them consistently well.”
To improve
- “At times, teachers do not check systematically what pupils know and remember.”
