Strengths
- “Hayeswood First School is a place where pupils feel safe and happy.”
- “These are well understood by pupils and provide clear expectations of how pupils should behave.”
- “Consequently, pupils are committed to their learning.”
To improve
- “However, in a minority of wider curriculum subjects, gaps in pupils’ learning are not always clear because assessment is not precise enough for each concept.”
- “This means that in these subjects, the school does not have accurate oversight of pupils’ knowledge.”
- “However, in some cases, inaccurate number formation within mathematics learning sometimes goes unaddressed.”
