Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending Morpeth First School.”
- “This was evident on inspection when some pupils told inspectors that they feel ‘treasured, courageous and empowered’ at school.”
- “Visitors are made to feel welcome.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, such as geography and physical education (PE), plans are not consistently broken down into the small steps of knowledge and skills.”
- “Some teachers do not choose learning activities that emphasise the most important knowledge and skills.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not develop the detailed knowledge they need to achieve well.”
