Strengths
- “Paulton Junior School is a happy school, where the motto of ‘learning together, learning for life’ exemplifies the school’s approach to pupils’ personal development.”
- “Pupils understand the importance of following the school’s ‘6 R’ values in the way that they behave.”
- “For example, pupils show respectful behaviour towards each other and adults.”
To improve
- “However, this is not the experience of pupils across all areas of the curriculum.”
- “At times pupils are not sufficiently challenged to learn as well as they should and then the quality of work they produce is not high enough.”
- “However, some subjects do not set out exactly what pupils will learn and when.”
