Strengths
- “Woodside Primary School provides a welcoming and supportive environment where pupils thrive.”
- “Pupils are polite, kind and respectful.”
- “This reflects the school’s strong emphasis on developing positive values.”
To improve
- “However, teachers do not always check if pupils can read the books they choose for themselves or the ones used for practice.”
- “This can make reading less enjoyable for pupils and slow down their progress.”
