Strengths
- “Churchfields Primary School is a warm and welcoming place.”
- “Pupils, staff, parents and carers are all proud to be part of this community.”
- “Pupils enjoy school and are happy here.”
To improve
- “However, this is not as well established for pupils with severe and complex needs who attend the school’s additional resourced provision, the ARC.”
- “Here, the delivery of the curriculum, including the activities pupils are given, is not as precisely targeted as it could be to overcoming pupils’ specific barriers to learning.”
- “For these pupils, learning and activities are not broken down enough into small, achievable chunks that they can readily build on.”
