Strengths
- “Amesbury Archer Primary School cares deeply about all their pupils.”
- “The school wants everyone to do well and enjoy their time at school.”
- “The wide range of learning experiences on offer prepare pupils well for later life.”
To improve
- “In mathematics, for example, the school recognised that the way that pupils are taught basic number and arithmetic needed to improve.”
- “However, these improvements are not yet being delivered consistently effectively in all lessons.”
- “Although most pupils are very well supported, for some pupils there is a lack of clarity around what they are learning to do that would, over time, tackle the most pressing challenges that face them.”
