Strengths
- “Newsham Primary School is a welcoming and caring environment.”
- “Parents and carers comment on how supportive the school is.”
- “They appreciate the ‘positive family feel’ to the school.”
To improve
- “While this is evident in the quality of education that pupils currently receive, it is not reflected in the outcomes of national tests.”
- “However, in some foundation subjects and similar areas of learning in the early years, teaching approaches do not consistently help pupils remember important knowledge.”
- “This means that some pupils do not learn as well as they could across the whole curriculum.”
