Strengths
- “Pupils are happy to attend Clitheroe Pendle Primary School.”
- “They enjoy playing with their friends at playtimes.”
- “They trust adults to keep them safe and to listen to any worries that they may have.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects and areas of learning in the early years, the school has not made clear exactly what pupils need to know.”
- “This means that sometimes teachers find it difficult to design learning that helps pupils to learn and remember more.”
- “On occasion, this leads to gaps in pupils’ learning that stop them from building on what they know.”
