Strengths
- “During their time at Sitwell Junior School, pupils develop strong friendships with their peers.”
- “When combined with the respectful and supportive relationships that they establish with staff, this helps pupils to feel safe, happy and confident in school.”
- “They focus on their studies, ensure that opportunities for learning are maximised and play well together.”
To improve
- “Despite this, the number of pupils who achieve the higher standard in reading, writing and mathematics is not significantly different to the national average and remains an area of focus for the school.”
- “However, the school has not consistently achieved such rapid progress for those pupils who require support with their spelling, punctuation and grammar or reading fluency.”
- “However, sometimes teachers do not consistently help pupils to correct these, and errors persist.”
