Strengths
- “Upper Beeding Primary is a welcoming school.”
- “The warm and nurturing relationships between staff and pupils shine through the school.”
- “They reflect the school’s values of teamwork, kindness, curiosity, and creativity.”
To improve
- “However, the school is aware that this is not the case in some subjects.”
- “In those subjects where the important knowledge is not as clearly identified, the curriculum is not delivered as effectively.”
- “As a result, pupils do not build or deepen their knowledge as well.”
