Strengths
- “Pupils do their best to showcase the ‘Shotley Bs’ in school: to be responsible and safe, be ready, be curious and be kind.”
- “When starting school, children in early years get taken under the wing of a ‘Year 6 angel’.”
- “This helps settle children into school routines.”
To improve
- “Frequent staff changes have made some of this tricky in the past.”
- “Still, there are instances where teachers do not spot those pupils who struggle with their work during lessons.”
- “It means that some difficulties, such as some pupils’ reading being laboured or some pupils lacking an understanding of words they should know, take longer to resolve than they should.”
