Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at St John’s CofE Primary School.”
- “Leaders have set high expectations for what pupils should learn and how they should behave.”
- “The school’s Christian ethos plays a central role in school life.”
To improve
- “However, there is more work to do to make this clearer and to help pupils know and remember more over time.”
- “Most staff, though not all, share leaders’ values and vision, and what they are trying to achieve.”
- “While leaders have considered the end-points pupils should reach, in some subjects, not enough careful thought has been given to specifying the smaller chunks of learning needed to build towards these end-points.”
