Strengths
- “Alder Tree Primary Academy has high aspirations for every pupil, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “The school values, ‘believe, belong, become’, shine through daily life in school.”
- “They epitomise the school’s determination that every pupil will reach their full potential.”
To improve
- “However, the curriculum is not implemented consistently well across all subjects and classes.”
- “In subjects that are less well embedded, such as art and design, pupils are less able to recall prior learning.”
- “In mathematics, some pupils do not remember number facts correctly.”
