Strengths
- “Knaresborough St John’s C of E Primary School is welcoming and caring.”
- “They enjoy learning, making friends and exploring diverse activities like cookery club, drum workshops and football practice.”
- “Relationships between pupils and adults are strong.”
To improve
- “The school is still refining curriculum plans in some subjects such as history.”
- “This newly introduced curriculum will take time to embed and for pupils to demonstrate their depth and breadth of knowledge as they begin to make links across important themes.”
- “A lack of clarity and consistency at unstructured times has led to a small number of older pupils behaving below the level they demonstrate in class.”
