Strengths
- “Pupils, staff and families are overwhelmingly positive about their school.”
- “Parents and carers describe it as an ‘asset’ to Widdrington village and a ‘privilege’ for their children to attend.”
- “Leaders and staff have purposely positioned the school as a hub in the local community.”
To improve
- “Historically, some children have not developed important skills linked to early writing well enough.”
- “This can be seen in older year groups, where some pupils do not hold pencils or pens correctly and do not consistently form letters and numbers accurately.”
- “However, there is more to do to ensure that older pupils are helped to improve their writing, and that staff consistently set high standards for the accuracy of pupils’ written work.”
