Strengths
- “Pupils at Colyton Primary Academy agree that they belong to a friendly community.”
- “They arrive each day with smiles on their faces and an eagerness to learn.”
- “Pupils meet the high expectations set for them in their learning because they try when something is hard until they succeed.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the checks that staff make on pupils’ understanding are not used to inform future learning.”
- “As a result, some pupils have gaps in their learning or misconceptions that go unaddressed.”
- “For example, in mathematics, gaps in some pupils’ number fluency hinder them with more complex calculations.”
