Strengths
- “At the very heart of Highfield Church of England Primary School are the values of love, serve and trust.”
- “These values are instilled in children from the very start of their school journey in Reception.”
- “Threaded through every part of the school is the Christian ethos.”
To improve
- “Some subjects are taught more consistently than others.”
- “This is because teachers’ subject knowledge in a small number of subjects is not as well developed, and teachers are not as confident about the best approaches to use to teach these subjects.”
- “Importantly, leaders recognise the need for a more targeted approach to staff professional development.”
