Strengths
- “Lakeside Primary Academy has high ambitions for what pupils learn and experience.”
- “The school has made purposeful changes across the curriculum.”
- “The school ensures these pupils are well supported and settle in quickly.”
To improve
- “However, these pupils do not experience the school’s curriculum over sustained periods of time.”
- “As a result, the school’s published outcomes do not fully reflect pupils’ achievement.”
- “However, at times, some pupils’ attitude towards their learning is not as positive as it could be.”
