Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending Beaufront First School.”
- “They attend regularly and arrive on time.”
- “Each morning, staff welcome pupils individually at the school gates.”
To improve
- “Some pupils do not develop fluency in handwriting and spelling work, and do not develop their knowledge of multiplication facts as quickly as they should.”
- “As a result, they do not always apply their knowledge confidently in their learning across different subjects.”
- “Occasionally, when learning is not closely aligned with pupils’ starting points, their attention wanes.”
