Strengths
- “Homefields Primary School is a caring and happy school.”
- “Pupils say that these values reflect their lived experience in this school.”
- “As a result, pupils feel happy at Homefields.”
To improve
- “The school is in the process of reviewing its curriculum plans to ensure that these fully include the early years foundation stage in all subjects.”
- “However, in a few subjects, where the curriculum plans are not as effective yet, the progression of skills is not as evident in pupils' books, and the quality of work is not as high.”
- “However, the curriculum is not always as skilfully adapted in lessons as it could be to fully meet the learning needs of pupils with SEND.”
