Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at Devonshire Primary Academy.”
- “The school’s motto of ‘the best that we can be’ is brought to life daily.”
- “They feel valued and accepted.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, from time to time, the activities that some staff choose to deliver the curriculum do not support pupils to deepen their knowledge as well as they could.”
- “Occasionally, this hinders how well some pupils learn.”
- “However, some of the learning in the early years does not link as well as it could to learning in key stage 1.”
