Strengths
- “Kempsey Primary is a highly inclusive school where everyone is valued.”
- “Pupils understand and follow the school’s six ‘character traits’, which include respect and resilience.”
- “Pupils say these traits help them focus on how to develop positively as young people.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes learning is not adapted sufficiently well to reflect pupils’ needs or build on their previous learning.”
- “Pupils do not routinely have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and key skills in some subjects.”
- “This can limit how well pupils make progress through the curriculum.”
