Strengths
- “Somerby Primary School is a small and welcoming school.”
- “Parents and pupils talk positively about the fact that the school feels like a family.”
- “One parent echoed the view of many when they stated that their child ‘has achieved so much since starting at the school’ and that ‘the teachers treat the children like they are part of their family’.”
To improve
- “However, at times, the early years provision is not as well considered as other areas of the school.”
- “The environment in the early years does not always allow children to develop their thinking or wider understanding.”
