Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy learning at this caring primary school.”
- “Staff forge strong, supportive relationships with pupils.”
- “Leaders take prompt and effective action to resolve any bullying issues or unkind behaviour.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, some teachers do not support pupils to recall and revisit their prior knowledge.”
- “This means that, in these subjects, some pupils sometimes struggle to recall their earlier learning.”
- “However, in some areas of learning, some staff are still developing their expertise to design learning that deepens children’s understanding.”
