Strengths
- “Pupils at Bluecoat Primary Academy understand, and share, the school’s vision of ‘STRIVE’.”
- “Pupils are determined to be successful, to take care, to show resilience, integrity, uphold the values of the school and to engage with something special to make a difference.”
- “Pupils get on very well with each other.”
To improve
- “Some aspects of the curriculum are at a relatively early stage of implementation.”
- “While pupils learn and remember most of the curriculum well, more time is needed for this to embed consistently across all subjects.”
- “However, in a small number of cases, teachers do not pick up on some of the minor mistakes that pupils make in lessons.”
