Strengths
- “There is a clear sense of joy and positivity at Whitchurch CofE Infant and Nursery.”
- “Pupils are polite, friendly and behave well around school.”
- “They know that if they have a problem, the teachers will sort it out straight away.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, changes are very new, and teachers do not always have the subject knowledge they need to deliver lessons to best effect.”
- “They do not check pupils’ understanding quickly enough, and some pupils can become disengaged.”
- “This means that pupils’ learning in these subjects slows.”
