Strengths

“Pupils enjoy learning at Hill Avenue.”
“In lessons they listen carefully, show determination, and support each other during group work.”
“By the end of Year 6, most pupils achieve the school’s high expectations.”

To improve

“In contrast, pupils at the early stages of writing, particularly in key stage 1, do not write as well as they should.”
“This is because the school has not ensured that some pupils have secured their basic writing skills.”
“As a result, some pupils’ written work contains errors in handwriting, spelling and punctuation.”
