Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy being part of the close-knit community at Chetwynde School.”
- “Staff know pupils well and understand their needs.”
- “Staff ensure that pupils feel involved and included in school life.”
To improve
- “However, in a few places, some pupils do not acquire new knowledge as securely as they should.”
- “This is because the support that pupils receive does not focus well enough on the specific gaps in their knowledge.”
- “The published data indicates that the proportion of Year 1 pupils meeting the expected standard in the phonics screening check was below the national average in 2023.”
