Strengths
- “Minerva Primary Academy is at the heart of the community.”
- “The school manages this well and this helps new pupils to settle quickly.”
- “Pupils, including the high number of pupils who are disadvantaged, have complex needs and speak English as an additional language, are happy and flourish in the nurturing environment.”
To improve
- “In other subjects, such as geography and history, the identification of the key knowledge that pupils need to learn is less clear.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not remember their learning over time.”
- “For example, in geography, pupils struggle to recall their previous learning about rivers and have a limited understanding of fieldwork.”
