Strengths
- “This is a happy and welcoming school.”
- “There is a strong sense of community.”
- “The positive way in which pupils interact with one another is reflected in their comments that ‘nobody is left out at Turnditch’.”
To improve
- “However, at times, teachers provide pupils with activities, guidance and feedback that do not focus clearly enough on the important knowledge that the curriculum identifies.”
- “When this is the case, pupils do not learn or recall the curriculum as well as they could.”
- “However, achievement in writing has not been as high.”
