Strengths
- “The comment of one parent, ‘Old Basford School is like a home from home for my children,’ is typical of the views of the majority of parents and carers who responded to surveys or who spoke to the inspectors.”
- “Pupils are kind, caring and inclusive towards each other.”
- “They behave well at the school.”
To improve
- “A few older pupils still struggle with reading.”
- “However, in some subjects, it is not always made clear to pupils what the important knowledge is that they need to focus on.”
- “Pupils do not always remember the main thing that they should have learned.”
