Strengths
- “Ellington Infant School is a school where pupils ‘love to learn and learn to grow’.”
- “There are strong relationships between pupils and staff.”
- “Parents and carers agree, with one describing the school as a ‘close-knit, caring environment’.”
To improve
- “Leaders recognise, however, that they have not yet consistently identified the essential vocabulary pupils need to retain alongside the knowledge they are taught.”
- “As a result, pupils are not always able to confidently recall some aspects of their learning.”
- “In computing, for example, pupils do not know and use specific terms such as ‘algorithm’.”
