Strengths
- “Pupils happily attend Whitefield Primary Academy.”
- “They are kind, friendly and welcoming to visitors.”
- “These help pupils to be respectful and become well-rounded individuals.”
To improve
- “In the meantime, while these plans become established, a few teachers do not have secure subject knowledge.”
- “This means that they cannot explain all tasks clearly, and occasionally, pupils are not able to complete some activities quickly and with clarity about what they are learning.”
