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.”
