Strengths
- “At the heart of Lydd Primary School is a strong sense of serving the community.”
- “Pupils animatedly discuss what they have learned from trips to the local church and Lydd Town Museum.”
- “They are equally enthusiastic about the historical figures that they have been taught about in the curriculum and the inspirational speakers who have visited their school.”
To improve
- “However, a small number of pupils, including some pupils with SEND, do not learn the curriculum as securely as they could.”
- “A small number of pupils require additional support to read confidently and fluently.”
- “Adult support is planned systematically, but the strategies being used to support the weakest readers are not yet as effective as they could be.”
