Strengths
- “Both Lowick and Holy Island first schools live out their vision of ‘journeying together’.”
- “Both schools work together to provide pupils with the education and experiences that they need to be successful.”
- “Journeying together also means that all members of the community are accepted and celebrated.”
To improve
- “However, some of the way in which the schools teach younger children in the Nursery and two-year-old provision is less successful.”
- “Here, children are taught well in small groups but do not use their time as purposefully when learning independently.”
- “The resources currently in the early years do not support children to do this as well as they could.”
