Strengths
- “Pupils feel celebrated, cared for and known well at Padbury Church of England Primary School.”
- “They enjoy being part of a small school community where everyone knows each other.”
- “On the playground and in the dining hall, pupils from different classes play and socialise harmoniously.”
To improve
- “However, curriculum monitoring at school level is not yet fully systematic or precise.”
- “As a result, leaders do not consistently identify clear next steps for improvement or evaluate how well teaching meets the needs of all pupils.”
- “They are continuing to refine their systems so that they can account more precisely for the costs and impact of the support provided.”
