Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to Cressing Primary School because staff listen to them and value their views.”
- “Pupils feel cared for and appreciate the priority that is given to their personal development.”
- “They know exactly what it means to care and demonstrate this in their dayto-day experiences.”
To improve
- “While they do check the quality of education, they do not always identify precisely enough where staff need further training to develop their subject knowledge.”
- “Therefore, a small number of pupils have developed misconceptions and gaps in their knowledge and understanding.”
