Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending Richardson Endowed Primary School.”
- “They are guided by the school’s values to ‘be ready, be respectful and be safe’.”
- “Caring staff know the pupils well.”
To improve
- “However, occasionally, the work that pupils are expected to complete is not ambitious enough.”
- “When this happens, pupils are not challenged sufficiently to deepen their understanding.”
- “Consequently, in some subjects, although pupils learn the core knowledge, their achievement is sometimes limited unnecessarily.”
