Strengths
- “Pupils and children in early years are happy at Radcliffe Primary School.”
- “They enjoy coming to school, where they are greeted by their teachers with a welcoming smile.”
- “Children settle in well in the Nursery and Reception classes as staff take steps to get to know the children and their interests quickly.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, leaders are working to ensure that teachers’ subject knowledge supports the ambitious curriculum.”
- “This is evident in some classes, but less so for older pupils.”
- “However, leaders recognise that pupils need a broader set of experiences to help them fully understand their part in the wider community and how to become responsible citizens in modern Britain.”
