Strengths
- “Welland Primary School is a calm and orderly place.”
- “Leaders set high expectations for pupils’ behaviour.”
- “Staff establish effective routines in classrooms and make sure that pupils follow the school’s rules.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, such as geography and art and design, key knowledge and skills are not as well sequenced as they could be.”
- “This means that, in these subjects, teachers are not always clear about what to teach.”
- “For example, pupils do not get enough opportunities to learn and practise important drawing skills over time.”
