Strengths
- “Nantwich Primary Academy is a friendly, nurturing and welcoming school.”
- “The school has created an atmosphere where pupils, including children in the early years, feel that they belong.”
- “Pupils value each other’s differences and care for each other well.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, the school has not broken down or organised the knowledge that pupils should learn into small enough chunks.”
- “This means that some learning does not build successfully on what pupils already know.”
- “In 2023, pupils’ attainment at the end of Year 6 was below the national average.”
