Strengths
- “There is a warm, friendly atmosphere at Woodford.”
- “Pupils feel confident and secure in their surroundings.”
- “Staff know all the pupils as individuals.”
To improve
- “However, when listening to individual pupils read their books, staff do not always make sure that pupils know what fluent sentence reading should sound like.”
- “Because the curriculums in the foundation subjects are quite new, leaders have not yet closely checked how well they are being taught.”
- “Where this is the case, pupils do not have a secure understanding of the important knowledge and concepts that have been planned.”
