Strengths
- “When pupils enter the gates at Stuart Road Primary Academy, staff greet them warmly.”
- “This welcome creates an atmosphere that pupils and staff describe as 'like a village in a city'.”
- “Pupils benefit from this positive welcome as it helps them to settle into learning quickly.”
To improve
- “Persistent absence is improving but remains a priority.”
- “Leaders recognise there is some further work to do to support the behaviour of a small number of pupils, especially at social times.”
- “However, these strategies are not fully consistent across the curriculum.”
