Strengths
- “Warm relationships lie at the heart of Roundthorn Primary Academy.”
- “Pupils flourish in the knowledge that this school expects the best from them, both academically and in preparation for life as responsible citizens.”
- “Many pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well.”
To improve
- “On occasion, in a small number of subjects, the checks that teachers carry out on learning do not help them to identify and address gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
- “This means that a small number of pupils do not have the information that they need to make connections in their learning.”
- “However, on occasion, staff use incorrect terminology.”
