Strengths
- “Newtown is a warm and welcoming school.”
- “Pupils benefit from the positive relationships that they have with other pupils and with staff, who care deeply for them.”
- “This makes the school a calm and happy place where everyone can focus on learning.”
To improve
- “The school recognised that the ambition for all pupils to achieve to the best of their ability had to be raised.”
- “Historically, achievement for pupils at the end of key stage 2 was low.”
- “However, the school has not done enough to ensure that the support provided for pupils who are falling behind in reading and mathematics is helping them to achieve as well as they should.”
