Strengths
- “Tiptree Heath Primary School is a welcoming and friendly school.”
- “Pupils are kind and caring towards each other.”
- “They follow the school rules of being ‘safe, ready and respectful’ in all they do.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, the curriculum does not identify precisely some of the important knowledge that pupils will learn.”
- “This means that staff are not always clear on the key content, including subject vocabulary, that pupils need to know securely in order to understand more complex concepts.”
- “This means that, in these subjects, some pupils develop gaps in their learning and struggle to use subject-specific vocabulary.”
