Strengths

“Perton Primary Academy is, as parents and carers say, a warm and welcoming school.”
“Pupils and staff are proud of the Perton values that underpin school life in its entirety.”
“Pupils are kind, courteous and considerate to each other and staff.”

To improve

“However, on occasion in some other subjects, staff do not choose the most appropriate resources or activity to support the intended learning.”
“When this mismatch is evident, pupils are not always able to recall their learning well enough.”
“However, sometimes teachers’ organisation of the intended curriculum lacks cohesion and this muddles the learning slightly.”
