Strengths
- “Astwood Bank Primary School is an inclusive school.”
- “All pupils are welcomed by warm and friendly staff.”
- “Pupils, parents and carers feel they are part of an extended family.”
To improve
- “However, in a minority of subjects, the work given to pupils does not consistently help them to achieve the aims of the ambitious curriculum.”
- “This means that pupils do not always learn the curriculum to the depth that leaders intend.”
- “However, in some parts of the school, there is inconsistency in how the phonics programme is being delivered.”
