Strengths
- “Benhall Infant School is a special place where pupils succeed at being ‘the best they can be’.”
- “Pupils are keen to learn from feedback, embrace challenge and persevere if they find something difficult.”
- “It is the thread that runs through everything the school does.”
To improve
- “Leaders have rightly identified that a minority of pupils in Year 2 do not read as fluently as they should.”
- “Leaders recognise that they are still defining the important knowledge pupils need to learn in a few subjects.”
- “As a result, pupils, including children in the early years, do not yet build a sufficient depth of understanding in all subjects.”
