Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to be part of the Mayespark community.”
- “School life is underpinned by the core values of respect, determination, honesty, unity, love and politeness.”
- “Pupils relish the opportunity to become a ‘values ambassador’ through being a good role model of these values.”
To improve
- “However, in some areas, the school’s curriculum thinking does not have a consistent understanding of how early years forms the starting point for children’s learning.”
- “This means that the curriculum does not develop and extend pupils’ understanding as well as it could.”
- “However, sometimes, what is taught is not broken down into small enough chunks for these pupils to be able to learn and remember confidently.”
