Strengths
- “At Queen Emma Primary School, pupils enjoy being part of a diverse and welcoming community.”
- “Pupils talk with enthusiasm about their learning across a broad range of subjects.”
- “They are confident to share their ideas and learn to listen carefully to what others have to say.”
To improve
- “In these areas, there is some minor variability in teachers’ subject knowledge.”
- “This can also lead to some less effective use of assessment to check what pupils know.”
- “Where this is the case, leaders’ ambitions for the quality of education are not fully achieved.”
