Strengths
- “St Leonard’s Church of England Primary Academy has a strong sense of community.”
- “Pupils put into practice the school’s values, including perseverance and courage.”
- “These underpin a positive culture, where a strong sense of belonging means pupils are confident, welcome others and enjoy learning.”
To improve
- “Despite the school’s efforts, some parents lack confidence in how the school manages their concerns.”
- “In a few parts of the curriculum, pupils are not given work that deepens their knowledge and understanding in a timely way.”
- “When this is the case, pupils’ learning lacks depth and slows the progress pupils make through the curriculum.”
