Strengths
- “Parents, staff and pupils are rightfully proud to be part of the Stanford Infants School community.”
- “Pupils feel safe and happy because they know staff care for them and listen to them.”
- “Staff are fully committed to developing well-rounded individuals who are confident to face challenges and try their best in all that they do.”
To improve
- “Leaders acknowledge the provision for early reading can be further developed by ensuring that all pupils are accessing appropriate opportunities to read in school and at home.”
- “However, in some other subjects, the key knowledge pupils should learn is not clearly planned out.”
- “Therefore, some activities designed to build and refine pupils’ knowledge are not always having the desired impact.”
