Strengths
- “At Theydon Bois Primary pupils value the environment they learn and play in.”
- “Pupils say they benefit from access to special facilities, such as their woodland areas and swimming pool.”
- “This attitude of appreciation extends to how pupils feel about the staff and pupils in their school.”
To improve
- “However, leaders are improving some curriculum plans and a small number are not clear enough.”
- “So, although pupils do gain a broad understanding, teachers do not consistently focus on the key content pupils need for future learning.”
- “However, there is some minor variation in the effectiveness of governance, for example in the way those responsible for governance monitor and question key policies and practices.”
