Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending Farnham Church of England Primary School.”
- “They develop a real sense of their place in the world and learn how to positively contribute to it.”
- “There are frequent, carefully planned, learning opportunities and trips.”
To improve
- “However, the school does not carry out rigorous checks on how much and how often pupils are reading.”
- “Consequently, some pupils do not build their reading knowledge as well as their peers because they do not read as often as they could.”
