Strengths
- “There is a warm, caring and safe culture at St Osyth’s Church of England Primary School.”
- “It is a nurturing environment in which pupils learn well.”
- “Pupils love the chickens and Otis, the school dog.”
To improve
- “In a few foundation subjects, where subject leaders are less experienced, the checking of how well pupils achieve is not as effective.”
- “In these few cases, the quality of teaching is not as high as in others, and assessment is not as precise to identify misconceptions and gaps.”
- “In these instances, pupils do not learn the curriculum as leaders intend.”
