Strengths
- “Rackenford Church of England Primary School has high expectations for all pupils.”
- “The school’s vision, ‘Let your light shine’, encourages all pupils to do their best.”
- “Pupils are happy to attend school.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, the most important knowledge that pupils need to learn and remember has not been clearly identified.”
- “Pupils’ understanding in these areas is not as precise because the school has not focused on what is important.”
- “For example, in history, pupils have secure knowledge of chronology but struggle to make links between concepts they are learning now and what they have learned before.”
