Strengths
- “Badbury Park Primary School is a friendly and welcoming school.”
- “It is a nurturing and inclusive place to learn.”
- “The school’s ‘4 Bs’ values lie at the heart of its work.”
To improve
- “The school recognises that the curriculum needs further embedding.”
- “For example, in some foundation subjects the school has not yet identified the precise knowledge it wants pupils to know and remember.”
- “As a result, pupils do not always gain the depth of understanding they need to make links with previous learning.”
