Strengths
- “Broadstone First School is a special place to learn.”
- “The school has high expectations of what everyone can achieve.”
- “Parents are highly positive about the school.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects across the wider curriculum, pupils struggle to recall knowledge in depth beyond what they are currently learning.”
- “For example, in geography, not all key knowledge that has been identified in the curriculum has actually been fully taught.”
- “As a result, pupils do not gain the depth of prior knowledge to make connections to new learning.”
