Strengths
- “At Firfield Primary pupils are polite, friendly, and hard working.”
- “They are proud to be part of the ‘Firfield Family’.”
- “Leaders are ambitious that pupils will flourish and thrive.”
To improve
- “In a small number of foundation subjects, leaders have identified what they want pupils to learn but this knowledge does not always build on what pupils should already have learned.”
- “As a result, pupils are not consistently learning the intended curriculum well enough.”
- “However, some pupils at the early stage of learning to read do not get the precise support they need in order to catch up.”
