Strengths
- “Marksbury CofE Primary School is at the heart of the local community it serves.”
- “Pupils describe the school as a ‘massive family’, where everyone is friendly and welcoming.”
- “They understand how the school’s values help them to develop resilience, make the right choices, and be understanding of others.”
To improve
- “However, in some areas of the curriculum, pupils’ knowledge is less secure.”
- “This is because assessment information is not yet used well enough to check on what pupils know and can do to plan for future learning.”
- “This makes it more difficult for pupils to build their knowledge.”
