Strengths
- “Pupils at St John’s C of E Primary School are delightful.”
- “They make friends easily because they care about each other.”
- “Each day they live out the school’s Christian values by being kind and helpful towards each other.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, leaders have only recently started to identify the important knowledge that they want pupils to acquire.”
- “This means that at times teachers are less certain about what they should teach and check.”
- “As a result, in these subjects, recall of learning for some pupils is not as strong as it is in other subjects.”
