Strengths
- “Pupils at Ellison Primary Academy are caring, collaborative, critical and creative thinkers.”
- “They love to discuss their ideas and understand the opinions of others.”
- “Pupils are inquisitive and show curiosity in their learning.”
To improve
- “Pupils’ progress in some other subjects is not as consistently strong.”
- “This is because the activities that some staff provide sometimes do not help pupils to learn as well as they could.”
- “Occasionally, for some pupils with SEND in some subjects, support is not always matched closely enough to their needs in lessons.”
