Strengths

“Pupils rise to the high expectations adults set through ‘The Chalfont Valley Way’.”
“The principles of ‘being ready, resilient, respectful and responsible’ are central to the school’s culture.”
“These are reinforced through assemblies, play, and learning times.”

To improve

“However, some pupils, especially those who are disadvantaged, have gaps in their handwriting, grammar and spelling skills that have not been addressed.”
“This means they make grammatical errors in their writing and handwriting is not always legible.”
