Strengths
- “Pupils treasure the many opportunities presented to them by this warm and welcoming school.”
- “The school’s motto of ‘believe, achieve, belong’ is demonstrated by the way there are opportunities for everyone at Ellwood.”
- “Parents are complimentary of the variety of clubs on offer.”
To improve
- “In a minority of subjects where the curriculum is less established, some pupils have gaps in knowledge and find it difficult to remember their learning.”
- “Leaders have identified that previously, the writing curriculum did not help all pupils to deepen their knowledge, for example developing their own writer’s voice when writing for different audiences and purposes.”
- “While it is already having an impact for many pupils, there is work to be done to ensure this is embedded in all year groups.”
