Strengths
- “Pupils at Marldon Church of England Primary School flourish because they are valued and motivated to learn.”
- “They are encouraged to be self-aware individuals who can confidently speak up for themselves and others.”
- “This is because pupils experience a culture of nurture and support alongside high expectations of their behaviour and academic success.”
To improve
- “While the school has accurately addressed areas for improvement, they are not embedded in some subjects and making the desired impact on pupils’ learning.”
- “As a result, in these subjects, pupils do not remember more over time and recall their learning as well as they could.”
