Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to be part of St Edward’s Church of England Primary School.”
- “They list the many things they love about their school: the teachers, the clubs, the ‘gem jar’ treats and the kindness of everyone.”
- “In lessons, they listen intently to their teachers.”
To improve
- “In foundation subject curriculum plans, these lesson-by-lesson learning intentions are broad.”
- “The small steps that pupils need to make to reach this intended learning are not always clearly identified.”
- “However, leaders do not have an overview of the texts that are read to pupils in each year group.”
