Strengths
- “Pupils at Soudley enjoy their time here.”
- “From the moment they join the school in the early years, they love coming to school.”
- “They feel welcome, safe and show a strong sense of belonging.”
To improve
- “There are times when teaching does not correct errors in writing or address gaps in pupils' knowledge.”
- “However, their knowledge of some aspects of the PSHE and relationships curriculum is not yet as embedded as leaders intend.”
- “For example, pupils' recall of previous learning about relationships and other cultures is not secure.”
