Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending Kelsey Primary School.”
- “Leaders have created a curriculum that focuses on helping pupils to become ‘globally aware’, ‘culturally aware’ and ‘self-aware’.”
- “Staff help pupils to develop the knowledge they need in order to be ready for the next stage of their education.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, pupils do not receive regular opportunities to develop their ability to think critically, such as thinking as a historian or a scientist would.”
- “For example, pupils do not have the opportunity to consider different approaches that they can adopt when undertaking scientific experiments.”
- “This can limit how well pupils think about the different ways they can learn, including independently.”
