Strengths

• “Pupils at Grange Primary thrive.”
• “The school’s vision of ‘achievement through caring’ is realised through the highly effective pastoral care provided for its pupils.”
• “A comment made by one parent is shared by many others: ‘The Grange isn’t just a school, it’s a family.”

To improve

• “Historically, some pupils have not achieved as well as they should by the end of key stage 2.”
• “However, subject leaders are relatively new to their role and this has affected how well they have developed their subject areas.”
• “This has contributed to variability in teachers’ subject knowledge across subjects and this sometimes limits pupils’ progress.”
