Strengths
- “Pupils and staff are very proud to be part of the Mead Road family.”
- “School life is underpinned by the school’s core values of determination, pride and curiosity.”
- “Staff use every opportunity to promote and celebrate pupils demonstrating these values.”
To improve
- “However, for some of the wider curriculum subjects, these are not as clear as they need to be.”
- “As a result, sometimes, in these lessons, the focus on the knowledge and skills pupils need to learn is not as strong.”
- “In turn, pupils are remembering the activities they have completed rather than the core learning.”
