Strengths
- “Pensford Primary School provides pupils with an education that extends beyond the classroom.”
- “Leaders have designed an education that builds upon pupils’ life experiences and broadens their horizons.”
- “As such, pupils enjoy learning and achieve well.”
To improve
- “However, this is not the case across all subjects.”
- “Where this has not yet been done, pupils find it more difficult to remember what they have learned before and do not deepen their knowledge as much as they could.”
- “However, across the school, new learning is sometimes not explained quite as clearly.”
