Strengths
- “St Peter’s C of E Primary school is a harmonious place to learn and play.”
- “Pupils enjoy spending time with their friends in the school’s well-resourced grounds.”
- “Pupils, including children in the early years, eagerly come to school each day.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, staff move on too quickly without identifying pupils’ misconceptions or checking that pupils have securely understood previous concepts.”
- “This makes it more difficult for pupils to understand new learning.”
- “However, some pupils have not been taught the appropriate vocabulary to use when talking about different types of relationships.”
