School remains Good Inspected 8 March 2023

Strengths

“Leek First School is a friendly school with a family feel and a strong sense of community.”
“Leaders and staff know pupils extremely well and put them at the heart of every decision.”
“Parents and carers are very positive about the school.”

To improve

“However, in some foundation subjects, leaders have not provided staff with enough information about the smaller components of knowledge that they want pupils to learn.”
“This makes it difficult for staff to make sure that pupils are learning and remembering everything they need to know.”
“However, at unstructured times, such as lunchtime and when moving around the school, some pupils are quite boisterous.”
