Strengths
- “Children at Hill View get off to a flying start in nursery.”
- “Staff have high expectations of them, quickly establishing routines and building up their social skills.”
- “There are excellent relationships between children, families and staff.”
To improve
- “In other subjects there are inconsistencies in the way the curriculum aims are delivered.”
- “The history curriculum does not have the same tight focus, and what pupils should learn in each topic is not as clearly defined as some subjects.”
- “There are few independent learning activities featuring history for pupils to access.”
