Strengths
- “Moorside Primary School and Nursery lies at the very heart of its community.”
- “Pupils enjoy attending school.”
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), establish positive relationships with staff.”
To improve
- “However, in key stage 1, some pupils have books that are too difficult and not well matched to their phonic ability.”
- “This means that they struggle to practise and reinforce what they have learned.”
- “In some subjects, these facts, while interesting, are not the most useful in helping pupils to remember the important aspects of what they have been taught.”
