Strengths
- “Pupils are proud and happy to attend Dore Primary School.”
- “Leaders and staff have high expectations for pupils.”
- “Most pupils achieve well and are ready for the next stage of their education.”
To improve
- “For example, the school realised that some girls did not achieve as well as boys in mathematics at the end of key stage 2.”
- “However, in some curriculum subjects, it is not consistently clear what key knowledge and skills pupils should know and understand.”
- “When this happens, the implementation of the curriculum is less secure.”
