Strengths
- “Crich Church of England Infant School exudes warmth.”
- “Staff have created a family feel.”
- “They know all the pupils really well.”
To improve
- “However, pupils do not develop the same depth of understanding in all areas of the curriculum.”
- “This is because the school has not identified the most important content in some subjects for staff to systematically revisit.”
- “However, there are very few extracurricular opportunities on offer at the school which prevents pupils from developing a wide range of talents and interests.”
