Strengths
- “Pupils love going to North Newton School.”
- “Their parents agree and would recommend the school to others.”
- “Caring staff, who know individual children well, keep them safe.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, leaders do not have a clear enough understanding of how well pupils are progressing through the curriculum.”
- “However, currently, there is insufficient attention given to what pupils already know.”
- “This means there are not always enough opportunities for pupils to deepen their knowledge and their learning.”
