Strengths

“Pupils are proud to attend Glenfrome Primary School.”
“They arrive with a smile and benefit from the warmth of welcome they receive from staff.”
“This helps pupils to feel safe and cared for.”

To improve

“However, there is variability in the way staff deliver the wider curriculum.”
“Teachers do not routinely check pupils’ understanding, which means they do not retain essential knowledge and find it difficult to connect new learning with what they have learned before.”
“Consequently, pupils do not progress through the wider curriculum as well as they should.”
