Strengths
- “Pupils love coming to The Meadows Primary School.”
- “There is a strong team spirit here, summed up in the school’s tagline ‘Play Together, Learn Together, Achieve Together’.”
- “Pupils behave really well and bullying is rare.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, subject leaders are new and have not been able to check precisely what pupils have learned in their subjects.”
- “They have introduced new assessment processes but these are not used consistently by all teachers.”
- “This means pupils’ learning does not always build on what they already know.”
