Strengths
- “Beck Primary is a special and welcoming school where pupils are happy.”
- “The school truly lies at the heart of its community.”
- “For example, it supports pupils and their families, including during school holidays, to overcome the challenges faced by the community.”
To improve
- “A high proportion of children join the Nursery classes or Reception class with considerable gaps in their knowledge.”
- “However, the published data from 2023 highlights that pupils leaving key stages 1 and 2 did not attain well in reading, writing and mathematics.”
- “In part, this was because the school faced significant challenges in relation to pupils’ behaviour and attendance after national lockdowns.”
