Strengths
- “Ashcott Primary School is a community school in every sense.”
- “Pupils benefit greatly from the shared ambition and approach to school development and decision-making.”
- “Pupils are rightly proud of their school’s welcoming, kind and nurturing culture.”
To improve
- “However, these, alongside some of the specific subjects that make up the content, are newer in development.”
- “Systems to check how secure prior learning is, so that pupils can secure new learning, are not as established as they are in more successful subjects, such as English and mathematics.”
- “There is also less information to support curriculum development.”
