Strengths
- “Daresbury Primary is a happy and welcoming school.”
- “Pupils feel cared for and safe.”
- “They said that staff know them well.”
To improve
- “However, some of this work is still quite new which means it is early days in terms of these curriculums being taught.”
- “Some subject leaders are not sufficiently skilled or confident in ensuring that their intended subject curriculums are delivered effectively.”
- “In these subjects, teachers are less confident in designing learning that helps pupils to learn the more ambitious subject content effectively.”
