Strengths
- “The friendly and supportive atmosphere at Bedwell Primary School means that pupils feel safe and secure and enjoy their learning.”
- “They are proud to attend the school.”
- “Pupils do well and strive to meet the high expectations that staff set for them.”
To improve
- “However, there are a few areas of the curriculum where teachers’ questioning is not precise enough to pick up pupils’ misunderstandings as effectively.”
- “This means that on occasion, pupils’ knowledge and understanding do not develop as well as in other subjects.”
- “However, leaders are aware that more could be done to help parents of pupils with SEND understand how to support their children’s needs.”
