Strengths
- “Pupils flourish at Luckington Community School.”
- “They report that the school is ‘a lovely small school where you know all the other children and everyone is your friend.”
- “These help pupils to build positive relationships with adults and each other.”
To improve
- “The school recognises that the curriculum needs further embedding.”
- “For example, in some foundation subjects the school has not yet identified the precise knowledge it wants pupils to know and remember.”
- “As a result, pupils do not always gain the depth of understanding they need to make links with previous learning.”
