Strengths
- “Pupils are happy to attend Croftlands Infant School.”
- “They enjoy playing with their friends at playtimes.”
- “Children in the early years, including two-year-olds, settle into school life well.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects and areas of learning, the key knowledge that children and pupils should gain is not as clear.”
- “This means that teachers do not routinely place the right emphasis on the knowledge that the pupils need for future learning.”
- “This sometimes prevents pupils from developing a detailed understanding and making connections with what they have learned before.”
