Strengths
- “Pupils and their families value the warm and positive relationships that they enjoy with staff and leaders at Fullwell Infant School Academy.”
- “Parents and carers speak highly of the strong communication they have with the school.”
- “This helps parents to understand how well their children are doing and how they can support their learning at home.”
To improve
- “In some other curriculums, such as art and design, the precise knowledge that the school wants pupils to learn is less clear.”
- “Occasionally, this means that adults’ expectations of what pupils will learn are inconsistent.”
- “However, in some subjects, adults do not check consistently well whether pupils remember their learning over time.”
