Strengths
- “Wheelers Lane Primary School is a warm and welcoming school.”
- “The curriculum at Wheelers Lane is ambitious, as leaders have placed considerable emphasis on considering the key knowledge pupils need to learn.”
- “Teachers check carefully if pupils have retained this key knowledge and they achieve well, especially in key stage 2.”
To improve
- “That said, there are a small number of older pupils who have not been supported to help them read fluently.”
- “Some of the curriculum development in certain subjects is at an earlier stage of development than others.”
- “Leaders are working on ensuring that the assessment of foundation subjects is precise across all subjects, and enables teachers to clearly identify any gaps in pupils’ understanding.”
