Strengths
- “At Norton Fitzwarren Church School, staff and pupils live out the school’s Christian ethos of ‘One family together, we shine’.”
- “Warm relationships are evident.”
- “They enjoy school and feel safe.”
To improve
- “However, while pupils can talk about their learning in lessons, in a few foundation subjects they do not recall their learning over the long term.”
- “This is because leaders have not designed the curriculum as effectively in these subjects so that it builds on what pupils have learned.”
