Strengths
- “Pupils at Waverton Community Primary School are part of a close-knit village school where they are known well and cared for by staff.”
- “They are guided by the school's values of respect, resilience and responsibility.”
- “This is reflected in the way pupils speak to, and about, one another and take pride in belonging to their school community.”
To improve
- “In the early years, however, expectations for what children can achieve, given their starting points, are not high enough.”
- “Staff interactions do not consistently support children to learn and develop as well as they could.”
- “Leaders have not fully ensured that teaching is appropriately challenging for some pupils.”
