Strengths
- “Bampton Church of England Primary School is a welcoming school.”
- “It is at the heart of the local community.”
- “The ethos of the school is rooted in the values of ‘Believe, Belong, Become.”
To improve
- “Nonetheless, such improvements to the curriculum have not had sufficient time to impact on some of the school’s published outcomes.”
- “However, in some subjects, the way in which the curriculum is taught does not support pupils to develop their knowledge securely.”
- “Where this is the case, teachers do not use what they know from their assessment of pupils’ understanding to inform subsequent teaching.”
