Strengths
- “Larkrise Primary School is a welcoming and inclusive community where pupils are cared for and nurtured.”
- “Pupils demonstrate the school values of creativity, kindness and adventure through the way they treat others and approach their learning.”
- “They know their teachers expect lots from them and enjoy rising to this challenge.”
To improve
- “However, this is not always the case and, occasionally, the activities chosen for pupils are less effective because they do not build on pupils’ previous learning.”
- “In addition, there are a few foundation subjects where leaders have not identified precisely what they want pupils to remember over time.”
- “Leaders have identified that they still need to improve the attendance of disadvantaged pupils so that they do not miss out on important learning.”
