Strengths
- “School is interesting and fun for pupils at The Holy Family Catholic Primary School.”
- “Pupils like learning and are inspired by the curriculum offered to them.”
- “They explain enthusiastically how it helps them to learn about the world.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, developing children’s communication skills through early talk for all children is not as focused as it could be.”
- “This means some children are not as wellprepared to learn in key stage 1 as they could be.”
- “Sometimes, the teaching approaches to these areas lack the consistency and effectiveness seen elsewhere as teachers strengthen their understanding of the new approaches or curriculum content.”
