Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy the richness of life at Oakthorpe Primary School.”
- “Older pupils revel in their role of helping others at lunchtime through organising games and activities.”
- “These less-structured times are harmonious and enjoyed by all.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, the work that they are asked to do does not sharply match what pupils know and can do.”
- “When this happens, some pupils lose their focus.”
- “However, sometimes younger pupils are asked to undertake complex tasks, such as writing a story, before they have secured important early knowledge of how to do this.”
