Strengths
- “At Stretham, pupils are proud to follow the school’s mantra of ‘be ready, be respectful, be safe’.”
- “They enjoy the different ways they can be responsible and contribute to the school.”
- “Almost all parents agree with pupils’ views on this.”
To improve
- “However, at times, learning is not broken down into manageable chunks.”
- “When this occurs, pupils are not able to understand and retain all that is being taught.”
- “This is because pupils engage less in their learning as they become overloaded.”
