Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy their learning and achieve well at Rudheath Primary Academy and Nursery.”
- “This is because the school has high expectations of pupils and gives them the support that they need to be successful.”
- “Pupils feel safe and secure as part of the ‘school family’ because they know that the adults care deeply about their well-being, as well as their academic achievement.”
To improve
- “Where this is the case, teachers do not have the same strength in subject knowledge and skills as they do where the curriculum is further embedded.”
- “Consequently, at times, pupils do not learn as well as they could.”
