Strengths
- “‘Aiming high’ is one of the core values at Pear Tree Infant School.”
- “Leaders have created an ambitious curriculum to give pupils a good start to their education.”
- “Staff inspire pupils to have high aspirations for their futures.”
To improve
- “In some of the foundation subjects, however, leaders have not closely checked how well the curriculum is being taught or if pupils have remembered the important knowledge that they should.”
- “Where this is the case, pupils do not have a secure understanding of the curriculum.”
- “However, some pupils still do not attend as regularly as they need to, particularly disadvantaged pupils.”
