Strengths
- “Ancaster CofE Primary School is thriving.”
- “One pupil said: ‘Every day, when I arrive at school, I always get such a big smile and it’s lovely.”
- “Pupils say that they feel safe.”
To improve
- “They have rightly identified that curriculum thinking is not quite as coherent in some subjects as it is in others.”
- “Leaders have rightly identified that some of the content pupils learn would work even better in a different sequence.”
- “In other subjects, where leaders have not identified precisely the key content that pupils need to learn, approaches to assessment do not identify gaps in pupils’ learning.”
