Strengths
- “Woodcote Primary is a welcoming and inclusive school.”
- “Pupils are safe and happy here.”
- “Pupils celebrate difference and enthusiastically take part in events including ‘culture day’.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, the important knowledge that pupils need to know is not as clearly identified.”
- “While teachers typically check pupils’ understanding, at times misconceptions are missed and not picked up quickly.”
- “This means that, sometimes, pupils’ knowledge is not as secure before they move on to more complex concepts in some subjects.”
