Strengths
- “Netherbrook Primary is a community where pupils feel confident and valued.”
- “Learning is often exciting and inspires enthusiastic learners.”
- “Leaders are ambitious for pupils.”
To improve
- “However, learning is not as well sequenced in a few other subjects, such as history or geography.”
- “This means that some pupils struggle to understand how their current learning fits in with what they have learned in the past.”
- “However, in other lessons, these opportunities to link different subjects are not as carefully planned.”
