Strengths
- “Pupils say the best things about Sprowston Junior are their friends, the teachers and their lessons.”
- “Parents also speak very highly about the school and would recommend it to others.”
- “Pupils feel safe and are kept safe.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, teachers’ checks on pupils’ learning are not as effective.”
- “Consequently, in these subjects, teachers do not always help pupils to build upon previous knowledge and skills, and pupils’ progress is not as strong.”
- “Support for a few older pupils is not always sharply focused enough on addressing gaps in their phonic knowledge.”
