Strengths
- “Pupils flourish at High Ongar Primary School as pupil well-being is at the heart of everyday life.”
- “Pupils know staff understand their individual needs.”
- “Staff care about pupils doing well.”
To improve
- “However, in the few foundation subjects which are the most recently updated, staff have yet to cover all of the required learning.”
- “This means pupils cannot confidently remember all the prior knowledge they need to know when making links to new learning.”
