Strengths
- “Pupils thoroughly enjoy attending The John Moore Primary School.”
- “The school is a positive and vibrant environment.”
- “The aspiration of wanting the very best for all pupils is at its heart.”
To improve

- “As a result, some pupils’ knowledge and understanding is less secure, they struggle to recall what they have been taught, and they are not able to build on what they already know.”
