Strengths
- “Glenthorne Community Primary School has high ambition for all pupils who attend.”
- “Parents agree that the school achieves this ambition.”
- “One parent’s comment was typical of many when they stated, ‘Glenthorne is truly a special school that serves the community well and helps to nurture the personal potential of all children in their care.’”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, the content pupils learn in the early years does not deliberately prepare pupils for what is to come next.”
- “However, the books sent home for pupils to read are not as well matched to the sounds they are learning in school.”
- “This limits the pupils’ opportunities to practise the sounds they are learning and this slows their learning.”
