Strengths
- “Milford Primary is a kind and caring school at the heart of its community.”
- “Pupils are friendly and polite.”
- “They respect each other, the adults and the strong culture of learning that pervades the school.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the structure of the curriculum means that sometimes key knowledge is not revisited frequently enough.”
- “Where this is the case, pupils find it difficult to remember some of the knowledge that is needed as a basis for new learning.”
- “However, subject leaders have not fully evaluated how well the curriculum has been implemented and how well pupils are achieving.”
