Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend this friendly and well-run school.”
- “Northborough’s vision to create a nurturing, family-centred community that empowers pupils is successfully met.”
- “Pupils are happy and enjoy a wide range of extra-curricular activities.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, some teachers are still getting to grips with delivering new curriculum plans.”
- “Where this is the case, pupils do not have sufficient opportunities to embed key ideas.”
- “This means that these pupils do not deepen their knowledge as much as they could, and their learning slows.”
