Strengths
- “Middlestown Primary Academy is a safe haven where pupils thrive.”
- “Relationships between staff and pupils are deeply respectful.”
- “During social times, pupils play harmoniously together.”
To improve
- “That said, sometimes the quality of adult interactions with children in the early years is not consistently high.”
- “However, sometimes the interactions that adults have with children and the modelling of vocabulary is not of consistently high quality.”
- “This means that opportunities for children to practise and learn new vocabulary are not maximised, for example as they learn through play.”
