Strengths
- “Pickering Community Junior School is a happy and vibrant place to be.”
- “Pupils enjoy warm, respectful relationships with staff.”
- “They enjoy sharing their experiences of school, including how staff use humour and funny sayings to address various aspects of school life.”
To improve
- “However, the school has, rightly, identified that pupils could achieve more in some subjects at the end of key stage 2.”
- “They have already identified that the most able pupils are not being sufficiently challenged at the start of mathematics lessons.”
- “Work has already begun to address this issue, but it is not yet fully embedded across the school.”
