Strengths
- “Wren Park Primary School expects all pupils to be respectful, ambitious and resilient.”
- “Typically, pupils do their best to live up to these expectations.”
- “They value the recognition that they receive for demonstrating them.”
To improve
- “However, the school’s systems for identifying and tackling incidents of low‑level behaviour concerns are not robust enough.”
- “As a result, some incidents are not captured or followed up effectively.”
- “In addition, the school’s anti‑bullying policy is not consistently understood or applied.”
