Strengths
- “Patience, gentleness and kindness lie at the heart of Knowle CofE Primary Academy.”
- “A strong Christian ethos underpins relationships and expectations.”
- “Pupils are happy to attend school because they believe staff care for them.”
To improve
- “In other subjects, the written intent about how knowledge and skills should be built on from the early years and into Year 1 is not yet in place.”
- “However, there are some cases where this is not as strong, and teachers do not routinely check that all pupils have a sense of whether they have achieved the intended outcome of the lesson.”
