Strengths
- “Shanklea Primary School is a caring and highly inclusive place to learn, grow and develop.”
- “Staff nurture pupils and care for them deeply.”
- “Pupils are given a range of opportunities to develop their interests and talents.”
To improve
- “Academic standards have declined over time, resulting in many pupils not achieving as well as they should in their national tests at the end of key stage 2.”
- “However, in some foundation subjects, assessments mostly cover the facts that pupils have been taught and not the important subject-specific skills.”
- “Pupils have not benefited from learning the new curriculum in full, so its impact is yet to be fully realised.”
