Strengths
- “Burnham Copse is a welcoming, nurturing school where pupils thrive and flourish.”
- “There is a positive culture that supports pupils well, including those who are disadvantaged.”
- “Pupils demonstrate the school values to ‘believe, care, persevere and succeed’ routinely through the school day.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects the tasks teachers set do not always enable pupils to learn or embed the key knowledge that leaders intend them to.”
- “However, pupils in key stage 2 who find learning to read the hardest do not make the gains in learning they should.”
- “The support they need is not delivered with the same rigor and precision as in key stage 1.”
