Strengths
- “Clifford Primary School is a happy, friendly school that pupils enjoy attending.”
- “Pupils and staff greet each other warmly every morning, showing the positive relationships that are in place.”
- “Pupils, staff and families talk about the ‘family atmosphere’.”
To improve
- “However, teachers do not always check what pupils understand in lessons, or whether they have gaps in what they have learned before.”
- “This means that they cannot consistently adapt teaching to address any misconceptions or missing knowledge.”
- “However, the teaching of phonics is not always consistent with leaders’ intentions.”
