Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend Ivy Chimneys Primary School.”
- “They have no end of opportunities to broaden their horizons and see what possibilities await them as they grow up.”
- “They are supported to step out of their comfort zone and try new things, such as canoeing, performing on stage, or raising money for charity.”
To improve
- “However, because it has not been fully implemented, the support that a small number of weaker readers receive is not precisely matched to their needs.”
- “This slows their progress and achievement.”
