Strengths
- “This school is at the heart of the community.”
- “Pupils, including children in the early years, know that they are part of the Brierley family.”
- “They said that everyone cares about each other.”
To improve
- “However, in a few remaining subjects, leaders have only recently taken steps to make sure that pupils revisit and recall prior learning regularly.”
- “As a result, there are times when some pupils struggle to recall some aspects of their earlier learning in these subjects.”
- “On occasion, this hinders some pupils when they set about completing increasingly complex tasks.”
