Strengths
- “Longvernal Primary School is a special place to learn.”
- “Pupils are at the heart of this inclusive school.”
- “The school community sees itself as ‘one family’.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are not able to connect current learning to what they already know.”
- “For example, in history, pupils struggle to explain concepts such as empire.”
- “As a result, they do not deepen their historical understanding.”
