Strengths
- “Gamesley Early Excellence Centre is an inclusive and welcoming setting where children thrive.”
- “Staff know all the children well and want the very best for them.”
- “Children start their school day with confidence and a smile.”
To improve
- “In a small number of areas across the curriculum, the school has not identified some of the important knowledge and vocabulary that children should learn in sufficient detail.”
- “This makes it tricky for staff to know what they should prioritise when designing learning activities.”
- “In these areas of learning, some children do not learn precise knowledge and vocabulary as well as they could.”
