Strengths
- “Church Hill Infant School is a welcoming and inclusive school.”
- “It is very proud of its diverse community and wants the best for all its pupils.”
- “One parent told the inspector: ‘This is a wonderful school – the best choice we ever made for our son!’”
To improve
- “However, sometimes the key knowledge that the school wants pupils to know and remember is not always taught explicitly.”
- “This means that in some lessons, a few pupils cannot recall what they have learned and misunderstand what they have been taught.”
- “This is not always checked and corrected early enough by some adults.”
