Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending St Andrew’s Primary.”
- “They look forward to the interesting and exciting learning the school offers.”
- “The school’s vision of ‘learning to love and love to learn’ links successfully to everything that happens at the school.”
To improve
- “However, in lessons, teachers sometimes do not check thoroughly enough if all pupils have a secure understanding.”
- “This means teachers sometimes do not spot if pupils are ready to move on to new learning or have any misconceptions.”
- “Leaders, including governors, are aware that pupils did not do as well as they should have in some of the national curriculum tests and assessments in 2023.”
