Strengths
- “Pupils report that Firs Primary School feels calm and safe.”
- “Pupils welcome the improvement in behaviour and describe the positive difference it has made to their day-to-day experience at school.”
- “Attendance has risen from a low starting point.”
To improve
- “However, too many pupils, particularly those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, do not consistently receive timely, well-matched support in lessons.”
- “This limits how well they learn and remember the curriculum.”
- “Even so, persistent absence remains too high, and too many pupils arrive late.”
