Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending Burton Morewood school.”
- “They told inspectors that poor behaviour and bullying are rare.”
- “Pupils explained that when behaviour is poor, adults deal with it so that it is not repeated.”
To improve
- “Leaders, including governors, are at an early stage in checking on the impact of these curriculum changes on pupils’ outcomes.”
- “Sometimes, the books that children in the early years and pupils in key stage 1 take home to read are too hard.”
- “This hinders the rate at which they develop their reading accuracy and fluency.”
