Strengths
- “Greatworth Primary School is a friendly and caring community.”
- “Everyone knows each other and gets on well.”
- “Pupils are polite and well mannered.”
To improve
- “Sometimes the tasks given to all pupils are not suitable for helping them secure or build on the ambition of the intended learning.”
- “However, they do not always use the information they glean from these questions to adapt their teaching to address the needs of individuals.”
- “That means some pupils have misconceptions that go unaddressed, and they struggle to access learning activities.”
