Strengths
- “Pupils at Beechwood Primary School feel included, valued and listened to.”
- “Positive and respectful relationships between pupils and staff are evident each day.”
- “These relationships help pupils feel safe, secure and confident.”
To improve
- “However, a small number do not have the transcription skills they need, such as handwriting.”
- “This makes it harder for them to show what they know when they write.”
- “In 2025, national test results in reading dropped because the Year 6 pupils had many changes of teachers in key stage 2.”
