Strengths
- “There is a strong community spirit at Ludlow Primary School.”
- “Since the amalgamation of the infant and junior schools, staff have worked together to build a shared identity across the two sites.”
- “Everyone is kind, welcoming and caring.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, however, the content is too broad and so pupils struggle to remember the detail of what they have been learning.”
- “However, sometimes teachers do not adapt activities and resources well enough to meet the needs of different groups of pupils.”
- “Some pupils do not receive enough help to access their work, whereas for others, expectations are not high enough.”
