Strengths
- “Stroud Community Primary School is a friendly, inclusive and happy school.”
- “Staff and pupils offer a warm welcome to visitors.”
- “Staff form supportive and caring relationships with pupils.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, sequences of learning do not identify precisely enough the building blocks of knowledge that pupils must learn.”
- “This limits how well pupils remember important knowledge in the longer term.”
- “Nonetheless, some leaders are new to their role so do not have a comprehensive enough understanding of how well pupils learn the curriculum in their subject.”
