Strengths
- “Pupils love attending Kirkby in Malhamdale Primary School.”
- “This is because they have strong friendships, are treated fairly by all staff and feel safe wherever they are in school.”
- “Consequently, pupils attend well.”
To improve
- “However, in some other subjects, what pupils are intended to learn by the end of each academic year is not yet clearly mapped out.”
- “This means that, in these subjects, sometimes, pupils do not effectively build their knowledge over time.”
