Strengths
- “St Nicholas’ Primary and Nursery School is a highly nurturing, inclusive and closeknit community where staff and pupils feel valued and appreciated.”
- “The school’s vision of ‘live, love, learn and be happy’ is central to everyday routines.”
- “Pupils have a profound sense of responsibility towards others.”
To improve
- “Staff often check pupils’ understanding by revisiting concepts and making connections with previous learning, but this is not yet consistent.”
- “This means that sometimes teachers do not know that pupils have gaps in their understanding.”
