Strengths
- “Pupils at Cheveley Primary love their school.”
- “It is small, friendly and welcoming.”
- “Pupils feel confident and happy at school.”
To improve
- “Although well developed, there is more work to do to further improve the curriculum and how it is delivered.”
- “The curriculum does not focus as closely as it could on ensuring each curriculum area concentrates on what is most important for pupils to remember, and be able to do, in the longer term.”
- “For example, lists of the knowledge and vocabulary leaders want pupils to learn are sometimes too extensive, and not sufficiently tightly focused on the most important aspects.”
