Strengths
- “Springfield Primary Academy provides a kind and caring community.”
- “Leaders have high expectations and are ambitious for all pupils.”
- “They work hard to ensure pupils attend school regularly, are safe and taught well.”
To improve
- “However, leaders do not consistently check how well pupils learn and remember the curriculum over time.”
- “This means they do not know enough about how well pupils achieve in all subjects.”
- “However, a few staff who are new to teaching phonics do not know the school’s approach well enough.”
