Strengths
- “Respect and kindness are engrained throughout the culture of West End Primary.”
- “The school provides high levels of nurture and care while maintaining a sharp eye on raising academic standards.”
- “There are high expectations for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, such as history, pupils find it more difficult to make links with what they have previously learned.”
- “As a result, their understanding of concepts such as invasion, monarchy and parliament is not secure.”
- “In art and design, pupils can talk confidently about new learning but cannot remember the famous artists they have studied.”
