Strengths
- “Ashdon Primary School is a place with a distinct family feel.”
- “It is a warm and welcoming place for pupils to learn and make friends.”
- “Pupils say that people are kind to each other, and that bullying is extremely rare.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, subject leaders do not have a firm understanding of how well their subjects are being taught, meaning they are not in a position to make adjustments when they are needed.”
- “However, some staff are still learning how to refine their teaching of the new phonics programme.”
- “Workload can sometimes be difficult to manage.”
