Strengths
- “Coverack is a happy and friendly place.”
- “In the words of one pupil, ‘We are a small school but a big family.”
- “Staff know pupils and their families well.”
To improve
- “However, it is too soon to see the full impact of the curriculum changes on pupils’ knowledge in the long term.”
- “With the exception of early reading, the trust identified that the curriculum was not fit for purpose and needed a complete rebuild from early years to Year 6.”
- “Nevertheless, due to the historic weaknesses, pupils still have significant gaps in their knowledge in the wider curriculum.”
