Strengths
- “Roseberry Primary and Nursery School is a safe and inclusive school.”
- “All pupils are included in all aspects of school life.”
- “Pupils benefit from a strong curriculum that helps them to learn how to be respectful, resilient and ready for life.”
To improve
- “Pupils can go several weeks without revisiting what they have previously learned in these subjects.”
- “As a result, pupils’ knowledge in these subjects becomes less secure.”
- “However, they cannot recall some key knowledge identified by the school, such as the meaning of the terms ‘crosscontamination’ or ‘carbohydrates’.”
