Strengths
- “Norton St Philip Church of England First School is a welcoming, caring school.”
- “The school’s ethos, ‘Small Schools, Thinking Big’, comes alive here.”
- “Leaders provide an exciting, rich curriculum.”
To improve
- “Where this is the case, the curriculum does not yet support pupils to build the deep knowledge and skills that they need for what comes next.”
- “However, occasionally, a small minority of older pupils lose focus, because they forget what adults expect of them.”
