Strengths
- “Cumwhinton Primary School is a friendly and happy place to learn.”
- “The school is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “Pupils achieve well, particularly in the early years.”
To improve
- “This process is not as effective in some of the foundation subjects.”
- “While learning is assessed in these subjects, assessment is sometimes not precise enough to help teachers to know what gaps in knowledge pupils may have.”
- “This means that future lessons in these subjects may not be as effective as they could be in helping pupils to build secure knowledge over time.”
