Strengths
- “Bridgewater Primary School is a friendly and welcoming place to learn.”
- “They have many opportunities to develop their talents and interests.”
- “Pupils share their successes and celebrate with others during assemblies.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, for example in mathematics, teachers lack clarity and when this happens, pupils take longer to understand what it is they should be able to do.”
- “Leaders should ensure they support all teachers to understand how best to teach the knowledge set out in the clearly sequenced curriculum plans.”
- “A few pupils in key stage 2 who are not yet fluent readers need to learn in the same focused way as younger pupils.”
