Strengths
- “Creativity and community are at the heart of Old Park Primary.”
- “It is a happy, friendly school, where everyone is welcome and valued as an individual.”
- “They value being able to learn a musical instrument and belonging to one of the many school orchestras.”
To improve
- “However, a few subjects have not been organised as effectively as the others.”
- “Because of this, teachers map out the learning in different sequences, based on the overall theme they want to cover.”
- “Sometimes, this means that pupils are not learning as well as they need to, and in a way that builds their subject knowledge over time.”
