School remains Good Inspected 5 June 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are very happy at this school.”
- “They welcome each other enthusiastically at the start of the day.”
- “They are proud to be from Colkirk, but also value being part of a larger federation.”
To improve
- “The school knows that some pupils have gaps in previous learning, for example in the use of pencil grip to ensure good handwriting.”
- “However, too many older pupils still do not use punctuation well and this means their writing is not as good as it could be.”
- “There are some occasions when the learning of a few pupils in a class is not extended well enough to move their learning on as effectively as it could be.”
