Strengths
- “Whittingham Church of England Primary School sits at the heart of the community.”
- “The small size of the school helps staff to know pupils very well.”
- “Pupils feel safe in school and know that there is a trusted adult they can speak to if they are worried.”
To improve
- “A very small minority of pupils feel that bullying happens and, while they do report it, they feel that sometimes it is not dealt with as swiftly as they would like.”
- “Staff have identified the important knowledge that they want pupils to learn in some subjects, but in others, this is not as precisely identified.”
- “However, not all subjects have a precise focus on the knowledge that pupils need to develop.”
