Strengths
- “Hook Norton Primary is a vibrant and welcoming community.”
- “Happy pupils look forward to seeing their friends and learning new things each day.”
- “Relationships between pupils and adults are warm and respectful.”
To improve
- “However, in a very small number of subjects, the essential content for pupils to know and remember is not as precisely laid out in a logical sequence as it is for English and mathematics.”
- “This sometimes means that misconceptions are missed or that pupils’ understanding is not checked effectively.”
- “A small minority of staff do not feel that their workload, well-being or professional development opportunities are considered well enough.”
