Strengths
- “Pupils are happy to attend Weeley St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School.”
- “The school values – love, trust and wisdom – underpin pupils’ education and wider school experiences.”
- “Pupils love to receive a cheerful welcome from staff, their peers and the two school dogs.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, there is a lack of precision in what pupils learn.”
- “Where the aims are broad, and where some teachers lack the necessary subject knowledge, pupils learn information that is inaccurate or not well placed to prepare them for what comes next.”
- “However, where leaders have not checked the provision meticulously, this strong practice is not present in every class.”
