Strengths
- “At Patcham Infant School there is a strong culture of appreciating and embracing individual liberty.”
- “Pupils take part wholeheartedly in inclusive activities such as wheelchair basketball and blind football.”
- “Most pupils describe their school as a ‘super friendly place where everyone is welcome’.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, some teachers lack the subject knowledge to be able to do this effectively.”
- “The activities they plan do not always take into account the learning that has come before.”
- “This means that the tasks pupils complete do not always match the intended curriculum.”
