Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend Fonthill Primary Academy.”
- “They understand how the school’s motto, ‘working together, achieving together’, helps them to feel part of the school community.”
- “Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive.”
To improve
- “In some wider curriculum subjects, pupils’ knowledge is less secure.”
- “This is because some teachers do not routinely make clear the important knowledge they want pupils to learn, nor do they check what pupils know well enough before moving on to new learning.”
- “This slows the progress that some pupils make.”
