Strengths

“Westdale Infant School is a welcoming and friendly place to be.”
“Leaders ensure that Westdale is ‘a happy community where magical things happen’.”
“Pupils model the school’s ‘rainbow values’.”

To improve

“In some foundation subjects, leaders have not yet developed the systems for checking what pupils need to know and remember.”
“In these subjects, leaders do not have a precise enough understanding of where there may be gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
“As a result, future learning does not always address any knowledge gaps pupils may still have.”
