Strengths
- “Stokes Wood Primary is a caring and inclusive school where pupils are happy and keen to attend.”
- “They say they enjoy lessons because ‘we learn a lot’.”
- “The school’s motto, ‘What we do today, matters tomorrow’, underpins its focus on developing pupils’ character and attitudes.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, the precise knowledge that pupils need to know and remember has not been fully identified.”
- “However, in some subjects, subject leaders do not check closely enough on how well teachers implement the curriculum.”
- “This limits the ability of these subject leaders to improve the provision in their area of responsibility.”
