Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy their time at Deepdale Community Primary School and attend regularly.”
- “Each day starts positively with a warm greeting from staff who know pupils well.”
- “This helps pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to feel safe and secure.”
To improve
- “To further strengthen their oversight, governors would benefit from receiving more helpful information, including analysis of incidents of poor behaviour, the impact of pastoral support on pupils, and the actions that leaders take following feedback from parents and carers.”
- “However, the school's overall development programme could be further strengthened by increasing the breadth and depth of opportunities for pupils to foster and develop their talents beyond predominantly sporting activities.”
