Strengths
- “Worth Primary School is a small, village school characterised by caring and nurturing relationships.”
- “Parents describe how their children ‘thrive’ in an environment that makes them ‘excited to go to school every day and tell me about the things they have been learning’.”
- “The small class sizes and positive relationships mean that pupils are known exceptionally well and, as a result, their needs are met rapidly, both in terms of academic support and stretch, as well as their emotional and well-being needs.”
To improve
- “However, there is room for the connections between the early years and Year 1 upwards to be more explicitly mapped so that all staff can explore and model these connections to support pupil learning.”
- “In some foundation subjects, however, this is not always done as consistently, meaning that staff do not have the same precise awareness of what pupils have understood, or what they have remembered in the longer term.”
