Strengths
- “Overbury CofE First School is a warm, welcoming and happy place.”
- “The headteacher and staff know every pupil well.”
- “For example, when it is a child’s birthday, staff fly the flag outside school.”
To improve
- “However, in a few foundation subjects, the knowledge and skills that pupils are expected to learn are not as well defined.”
- “This means that teachers are unsure about what pupils need to know and remember in these subjects.”
- “Pupils do not achieve as well as they could in these subjects.”
