Strengths
- “Roydon Primary Academy is a welcoming and inclusive school.”
- “Pupils are happy, and they achieve well.”
- “The school has high expectations for all.”
To improve
- “However, in some areas, the work given to pupils is not demanding enough and they often lose focus.”
- “This is because staff training has not been precise enough to help staff plan and deliver lessons that are appropriately ambitious.”
- “Staff do not always give pupils enough opportunties to practise what they know.”
