Strengths
- “Brize Norton is a welcoming and inclusive primary school.”
- “The strong ethos of, ‘We SHINE for ourselves and each other,’ underpins the work of the school.”
- “They have positive relationships with each other and with staff.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the curriculum is new and not embedded fully.”
- “As a result, teachers do not always match the tasks that they set pupils to the curriculum.”
- “This hinders how well some pupils learn the curriculum as it does not build on previous learning as effectively as the school intends.”
