Strengths

“Beckingham Primary School does all it can to ensure that every pupil ‘THRIVES’.”
“Leaders have high expectations.”
“Pupils do their very best to live up to these expectations.”

To improve

“However, a very small number of subjects are not as well developed.”
“In these subjects, the curriculum does not precisely set out the information that pupils are expected to commit to their long-term memory.”
“However, in some cases, targets do not set out what the school will do to address the specific type of SEND that pupils have.”
