Strengths
- “From the moment pupils first walk through the door at Cranwell Primary School, staff make them feel at home and give them all the help they need to settle in.”
- “This positive, inclusive ethos permeates the whole school.”
- “There are strong, caring relationships between the pupils and adults.”
To improve
- “However, when pupils join the school, there is not always sufficient time for them to catch up before the end of the year.”
- “However, in some foundation subjects, teachers do not build on pupils’ prior learning well enough.”
- “Consequently, some pupils cannot recall key curriculum content securely and they do not deepen their understanding of important concepts over time.”
