Strengths
- “Beck Row Primary Academy is a polite and friendly place in which to learn.”
- “Pupils receive plenty of praise for what the trust deems small but important acts of respect that everyone learns together, such as ‘lovely lining up’ and ‘wonderful walking’.”
- “As a result, classrooms and corridors are calm.”
To improve
- “Some teachers are still getting to grips with how to teach the curriculum.”
- “Occasionally, this means that teachers do not adapt lessons well enough or set work that gives pupils enough opportunities to practise and secure new knowledge.”
- “The school is working on expanding the offer of cultural trips and experiences.”
