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.”
