Strengths
- “Pupils at Kingsway Primary Academy School enjoy coming to school.”
- “Pupils, including children in the early years, feel happy and safe.”
- “This includes pupils in the specially resourced provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), (specially resourced provision).”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, however, the school has not ensured that it identifies and addresses the gaps in knowledge that some pupils have due to weaknesses in the previous curriculum.”
- “This means that some pupils have insecure foundations on which to build new learning in these subjects.”
- “Where staff have not provided learning activities that help pupils to backfill this knowledge, pupils’ learning is sometimes more fragile.”
