Strengths
- “Pupils at Hythe Primary say, ‘we’re one big family’.”
- “The warm and nurturing relationships between staff and pupils are a key feature of this school.”
- “The values of ‘include, inspire and invest’ create a tangible ethos of inclusivity.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, leaders’ planning in some subjects is newer than in others.”
- “Where this is the case, pupils do not always have the prior knowledge to build on.”
- “For example, in history, where Year 6 pupils were learning about the Falklands War, they did not understand the reasons behind the war starting in the first place.”
