Strengths
- “Bowmansgreen Primary is a place where pupils are happy and learn to respect each other.”
- “The school helps pupils develop a strong sense of identity and to appreciate their diverse community.”
- “Pupils develop socially by celebrating the achievements of others.”
To improve
- “Incidents of poor conduct, including bullying are now rare, but some pupils recall times in the recent past when this might have been more common.”
- “However, sometimes teachers do not adapt their approach to respond to these misconceptions.”
- “This means pupils do not always have the chance to apply knowledge accurately and embed this learning in their work.”
