Ofsted
Some aspects not as strong Inspected 16 October 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils feel welcome and respected at Aycliffe Drive Primary School.”
- “From the moment children join the school in Nursery or Reception, routines are in place to help children quickly settle and feel comfortable and safe.”
- “Pupils respond maturely to adults’ high expectations for conduct.”
To improve
- “However, the quality of lessons pupils receive does vary, and this limits their achievement in some areas of the curriculum.”
- “This can disproportionately impact learners who have gaps in their prior knowledge, including some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “Too many pupils are still regularly absent from school, and this is a barrier to their achievement.”
