Strengths
- “Pupils at Springmead Primary School access a well-designed curriculum.”
- “Many pupils talk at length about their learning.”
- “Pupils enjoy having their knowledge checked.”
To improve
- “However, the way in which teachers check pupils’ knowledge after a series of lessons does not always inform their teaching as well.”
- “This means that in some areas of the curriculum, over time, pupils forget the ideas and vocabulary taught in lessons.”
- “Leaders recognise this, but their plans to address it are yet to take effect.”
