Strengths
- “Minsterley Primary School is warm, welcoming and inclusive.”
- “It is a school where pupils achieve well because of the guidance and support that staff provide.”
- “There is always something going on to enrich pupils’ experience, ranging from exciting visits to historic places, to the numerous sporting clubs in school.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, pupils struggle to remember what they have learned as well as they could.”
- “This is because teachers do not always revisit previous learning successfully enough.”
