Strengths
- “Alveley Primary School is a small school with a big heart.”
- “Pupils are surrounded by care and high expectations.”
- “Leaders, trustees, governors and staff all want the best for pupils.”
To improve
- “However, in some instances, some pupils have only limited opportunities to recall or talk about previous learning.”
- “As a result, it can affect how well they retain and apply their learning.”
- “However, while in most lessons staff regularly check in with the pupils to ensure they understand and can remember what they have learned in the lessons, in others, they do not.”
