Strengths
- “Pupils love Enstone because everyone knows each other.”
- “They are encouraged to be thoughtful and considerate.”
- “Pupils do this showing impeccable manners.”
To improve
- “However, because the school has only had its first Nursery class this year, not all the planned knowledge is set out clearly from when a child starts.”
- “Although staff have been trained, leaders recognise that they need to continue supporting staff’s knowledge to teach the programme effectively.”
- “Despite this, teachers sometimes select activities which do not help pupils learn all the intended knowledge.”
