Strengths
- “There is a strong sense of community at Grangetown Primary School.”
- “Pupils feel happy, safe and well cared for here.”
- “Pupils say the teachers are the best thing about their school.”
To improve
- “In a small number of cases, teachers do not address mistakes in pupils’ work, such as incorrect letter or number formation.”
- “This means that some pupils make the same mistakes repeatedly.”
- “However, occasionally, they are not precisely matched to pupils’ gaps in knowledge.”
