Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and proud to be a part of the Mossley ‘family’.”
- “They are polite and respectful towards each other, staff and visitors.”
- “These pupils extend the learning of others beyond the classroom by setting competitions in art and science.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, some of the activity choices that teachers make for the younger pupils in school do not deepen their learning.”
- “However, some pupils do not consistently communicate well in writing.”
- “This is because teachers do not help pupils to write legibly or to spell as accurately as they could.”
