Strengths
- “Westwood Primary School is a welcoming and inclusive school.”
- “The school is ambitious for every pupil to achieve well.”
- “Recent changes to the curriculum are supporting more pupils to do so as they progress through the school.”
To improve
- “Most recent published outcomes do not reflect the quality of education.”
- “Some pupils, however, do not read as fluently as they could because they do not get enough practise and staff do not always know how to support them.”
- “However, in some subjects, teaching does not identify and address pupils’ gaps in knowledge well enough.”
