Strengths

“Little Reddings Primary School is a welcoming school with a ‘can-do’ attitude.”
“Pupils benefit from the recent changes made to the curriculum and wider learning opportunities.”
“Pupils rise to the high standards staff expect of them, including the presentation of their work.”

To improve

“In some recently updated foundation subjects, teachers are still getting used to the new curriculum expectations.”
“This means some of the work teachers provide does not always match the precise aims of the curriculum and pupils are not yet able to recall the detailed knowledge leaders intend.”
“However, in foundation subjects, teachers’ feedback does not always link specifically to the knowledge pupils need to know in order to deepen their understanding.”
