Strengths
- “Chieveley Primary School is a welcoming and friendly community.”
- “Most pupils enjoy coming to school each day and attend regularly.”
- “Teachers have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and reward those who demonstrate the school’s values of resilience, reflection, resourcefulness, risk-taking and relationships.”
To improve
- “Although the curriculum is generally strong, the school is aware that pupils do not make as much progress as they could in mathematics.”
- “This is because there is not always enough focus on developing mathematical fluency, for example by ensuring that pupils can recall multiplication tables quickly and accurately.”
- “The school’s reading curriculum has undergone improvements in recent years and the strength of the programme is not yet reflected in published outcomes.”
