Strengths
- “‘We care, we share, we learn together’ is at the heart of Woodrow First school.”
- “Pupils and staff show this as soon as you enter the building.”
- “Pupils speak positively about the support they receive from staff and enjoy learning.”
To improve
- “However, despite this ambitious curriculum, some pupils do not achieve as well as they should.”
- “This is because some aspects of the curriculum are not as fully developed as others.”
- “While some aspects of pupils’ writing have improved, the school is aware that more work is needed to embed pupils’ key writing skills further.”
