Strengths
- “Marlborough Primary School has a strong sense of community.”
- “Those new to the school, including pupils who arrive from overseas, quickly become part of this nurturing school family.”
- “The school ensures that new pupils are supported and feel included from their first visit.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the precise knowledge and skills are not clearly defined.”
- “This makes it difficult for teachers to select the most appropriate learning activities.”
- “As a result, in some subjects, a few pupils do not develop detailed knowledge, and they struggle to recall their learning over time.”
