Strengths
- “St Chad’s Church of England Primary School is a warm and welcoming place.”

- “Pupils love school, and parents and carers agree.”
To improve
- “Pupils’ understanding in these subjects is less secure.”
- “Leaders have not had the opportunity to assess the impact of these curriculums.”
- “Therefore, it does not have a sufficiently detailed understanding of the school’s curriculum to enable it to fully challenge and hold leaders to account in this respect.”
