Strengths
- “Mendham Primary School is a friendly place.”
- “Pupils play well together during social times.”
- “They sit, chat and eat sensibly at lunch.”
To improve
- “However, occasionally, staff do not teach new skills precisely and allow pupils to become distracted from the task in hand.”
- “While pupils respond well to adult guidance to refocus, they do not always secure new learning as well as they should.”
