Strengths
- “Nancledra School is increasingly ambitious for its pupils.”

- “Some parts are already very effective, such as the teaching of reading.”
To improve
- “Lessons are mostly calm and purposeful, although sometimes pupils need reminding of the school’s high expectations.”
- “The school has been through a period of many changes and this has caused some instability.”
- “However, a higher number of staff changes than is normal led to standards slipping for a short time.”
