Good Inspected 17 January 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils wear their school uniform with pride.”
- “They enjoy learning and socialising with their friends.”
- “Pupils help to ensure that Yew Tree Primary Academy is a harmonious school, where pupils respect each other and staff.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, leaders have not precisely identified the knowledge and skills that they want pupils to acquire and when to teach it.”
- “This makes it harder for teachers to build pupils’ knowledge over time and to check whether pupils have understood and remembered their learning.”
- “However, leaders’ initiatives to improve pupils’ attendance are not having the rapid impact that leaders intend.”
