Strengths

“Pupils at Kingsway Primary School experience a welcoming and supportive environment where they feel safe, valued and cared for.”
“They rightly trust staff to listen and act quickly when needed, which helps them to feel secure and ready to learn.”
“When it does happen, staff ensure that appropriate action is taken so that pupils learn from the experience and continue to feel that they belong.”

To improve

“In a few subjects, pupils are not as well-supported to extend their thinking, which limits deeper understanding.”
“However, a small, but notable, minority of disadvantaged pupils continue to be routinely absent.”
“However, there is some variation in how consistently teaching translates curriculum intent into impact in a few subjects.”
