Strengths
- “Pupils love attending Northgate Primary School.”
- “They arrive each day with a positive attitude and eagerness to learn.”
- “The positive relationships staff forge with pupils mean that they notice any small changes to their behaviour or wellbeing.”
To improve
- “However, at times, teachers do not always adapt the curriculum well enough to support some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities or other barriers.”
- “This means that some of these pupils do not progress through the curriculum as well as they should.”
- “However, this approach has not yet had the same impact across the wider curriculum.”
