Strengths
- “Pupils feel safe and happy attending Pangbourne Primary School.”
- “They are cared for by teachers and leaders, who know each of them well.”
- “Pupils enjoy their lessons here.”
To improve
- “They generally learn well, although some who have fallen behind in reading and mathematics need more effective help to catch up.”
- “Teachers ask pupils questions as part of class discussions, but they are not systematic in checking that all pupils have understood the learning in these subjects.”
- “This means that pupils sometimes develop misconceptions, which are not addressed until a subject is taught again much later.”
