Strengths
- “Pupils at Winkleigh Primary School are welcomed with open arms by staff.”
- “The nurturing culture of this school is further reflected in the actions of older pupils, who take seriously their roles of responsibility.”
- “For example, at the start of each school day, older pupils guide younger pupils to their classes and help them settle into the start-of- day activities.”
To improve
- “However, the use of assessment of pupils' work in books is not always as effective.”
- “While teachers identify where pupils have made mistakes or have misconceptions, sometimes this does not help pupils to improve their learning.”
- “In addition, teachers do not use the information from assessment consistently well to adapt future learning.”
