Strengths
- “Pupils at Copper Valley Infant and Nursery Academy are vibrant, confident and happy individuals.”
- “They flourish in the nurturing and respectful culture of the school.”
- “This begins in the Nursery Year where language and interactions are at the heart of children’s learning.”
To improve
- “However, for a small number of pupils, the school has not set out how they will meet the high standards it expects from them, for example in their development or their behaviours for learning.”
- “This means that they do not benefit from the targeted support or strategies that they require in order to be fully successful.”
