Strengths
- “Pupils love learning at Burrsville and enjoy the subjects they are taught in class.”
- “They especially like the visits they go on to places, like Colchester Castle, which help them learn even more.”
- “From the start of Reception, children learn independence and the routines of school.”
To improve
- “In other subjects, however, the curriculum does not set out the precise order in which knowledge is to be learned.”
- “It also does not identify which knowledge needs to be revisited in order to secure pupils’ understanding.”
- “This means that, while pupils have a secure knowledge of individual topics, they do not always make connections between their learning.”
