Strengths
- “Pupils are known as individuals at Featherby Infant and Nursery School.”
- “Staff get to know all pupils and their families well.”
- “They do everything possible to ensure that pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those from other disadvantaged groups, have a positive experience at school and thrive.”
To improve
- “Although teaching is generally clear, some subjects in the wider curriculum are not taught as effectively as they could be.”
- “As a result, some pupils have gaps in their understanding, so they do not build their knowledge across the wider curriculum as effectively as they could.”
- “However, in some areas of the curriculum, pupils struggle to remember what they have learned over time.”
