Strengths
- “The pupils at Buxworth Primary School live and breathe ‘Project 25’.”
- “As one pupil told inspectors: ‘It’s great here because of our values – these are the things you need by the time you’re 25.”
- “It tells us how to be successful adults.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of foundation subjects, some parts of the curriculum are not clear enough about what pupils need to know and remember.”
- “Where this is the case, pupils do not develop a deep understanding of what they are learning.”
- “However, while this means that pupils have a clear understanding of their school’s values, they are far less knowledgeable about British values and matters of equality.”
