Strengths
- “Pupils at Gunnislake Primary Academy are ‘kind, respectful and focused’.”
- “This helps them to develop positive relationships with staff and with their peers.”
- “As well as talking with staff, they use their ‘I wish my teacher knew’ boxes to share any worries they have.”
To improve
- “Despite this, in some subjects, leaders have not considered well enough how important knowledge is broken down into smaller steps.”
- “This means that some pupils find it difficult to make links between topics or remember what they have learned over a longer period of time.”
- “However, leaders have not considered well enough how pupils learn about different cultures.”
