Strengths
- “Kidsgrove has a close-knit community feel.”
- “Its small size means everyone knows each other well.”
- “Relationships are warm and pupils know their voice matters.”
To improve
- “Pupils enjoy the extra-curricular opportunities, such as football and chess club, that are on offer, but would like a wider choice of activities.”
- “However, the effectiveness of this checking is inconsistent.”
- “This means that occasionally some pupils are faced with tasks that they are not yet ready for, while others complete tasks very quickly.”
