Strengths
- “Pupils thrive at Roskear Primary and Nursery School.”
- “Everyone wants the best for pupils.”
- “Staff strive relentlessly to raise aspiration.”
To improve
- “However, expectations around pupils’ presentation skills are not as high as in reading and mathematics.”
- “As a result, pupils sometimes find writing tasks difficult.”
- “For example, when pupils are asked to write creatively, they struggle because they need to focus more on handwriting, or forming letters accurately, than writing meaningfully.”
