Strengths
- “Wirksworth Church of England Infant School is truly at the heart of its local community.”
- “Pupils are proud of their small, rural school.”
- “They are happy, polite and kind to each other.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, some activity choices that staff make do not help some pupils to deepen their knowledge and skills.”
- “This means that, at times, the delivery of the curriculum does not ensure that all pupils learn as well as they could.”
- “In the early years, staff do not use assessment robustly enough.”
