Strengths
- “Bedenham Primary is a school where staff put the needs of pupils at the heart of all they do.”
- “Pupils are happy and well cared for.”
- “Leaders have set out a clear strategic vision, which embodies the school’s three key values of ‘respect, resilience and aspiration’.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, including in mathematics, the school does not always emphasise or revisit the most important concepts and knowledge that pupils should learn sufficiently.”
- “As a result, pupils’ learning does not always build on earlier content.”
- “This hampers some pupils from developing a strong body of knowledge over time in these subjects.”
