Strengths
- “Pupils highly enjoy their education at St Winnow.”
- “This is reflected in their strong attendance.”
- “They feel well cared for and in the words of one pupil, 'We're one big family.”
To improve
- “In the process of joining the trust, executive leaders, alongside external support, identified weaknesses in the school’s curriculum.”
- “They recognised that they needed to raise expectations of what pupils should learn, and in what order, from early years to Year 6.”
- “However, although assessment systems are consistently used across the school, teachers do not then use the information gathered well enough.”
