Strengths
- “Pupils at Poulton Lancelyn are aspirational.”
- “From the 2-year-old provision to Year 6, they arrive at school each day with an eagerness and enthusiasm to learn.”
- “Pupils, including those who face barriers to their learning, consistently live up to, or exceed, the high expectations that leaders set for what they should achieve.”
To improve
- “However, on occasion, some of the tasks set by staff do not provide sufficient challenge for pupils.”
- “As a result, a minority of pupils do not make the progress that they are capable of.”
