Strengths
- “The ‘rainbow values’ encapsulate all that is great about the pupils at Abbots Green Primary Academy.”
- “Pupils are responsible in how they approach learning, reading regularly to win the sought-after ‘reading cup’.”
- “They are aspirational in how they take on roles, training hard to do these well.”
To improve
- “Nonetheless, some pupils find it difficult to recall learning from previous years.”
- “This makes it difficult for those pupils to maximise their knowledge by making links to what they learned before.”
