Strengths
- “Bridport Primary is a happy and welcoming place.”
- “Leaders have high expectations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “Most pupils, including children in the early years, strive to live up to these expectations.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, leaders do not precisely identify the essential knowledge that pupils need to learn.”
- “When this occurs, pupils do not remember the curriculum’s content.”
- “In a few subjects, leaders do not know how well pupils have understood what they have been taught.”
