Strengths
- “All pupils are warmly welcomed at The Beeches Primary School.”
- “Pupils live by the school’s values, which include caring for each other and striving for excellence.”
- “They respond well to the high expectations that teachers have of them and settle to lessons quickly so that learning is not disturbed.”
To improve
- “In some lessons, teachers do not implement the plans fully.”
- “In these cases, it means that pupils cannot independently access their learning.”
- “There are times when not all adults are available to support and guide children’s learning to help them practise what they have been taught.”
