Strengths
- “Markington Church of England Primary & Nursery School is wonderfully caring and aspirational.”
- “The school’s motto, ‘Make full use of the gift God gave you’, is important to pupils and staff.”
- “This makes the school wonderfully inclusive.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, the curriculum needs some refinement to ensure teachers provide regular opportunities for pupils to revisit their prior learning and remember their learning over time.”
- “In a small number of subjects, lessons do not provide regular opportunities for pupils to revisit prior learning.”
- “This means that, occasionally, some pupils do not remember the important knowledge that they need to be ready for the next stage of learning.”
