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.”

Safeguarding: Effective
