Strengths
- “Pupils at Mandeville Primary School are confident, respectful and resilient.”
- “They are happy in a warm and supportive environment.”
- “Pupils enthusiastically celebrate their school with visitors.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, a small number of pupils talk over each other, disrupting others.”
- “However, for a small number of subjects, leaders do not know well what is taught in the early years.”
- “This makes it more difficult for teachers in key stage 1 to link what they teach to what pupils learned before Year 1.”
