Strengths
- “Pupils, including children in the early years, thrive as they ‘aim high’ at Farington Primary School.”
- “They come to school eager to learn and are excited to see their friends and their teachers.”
- “Pupils are greeted warmly by staff as they arrive each day.”
To improve
- “However, the school’s curriculum thinking is not as well developed in some areas of learning in the early years.”
- “This means that, at times, teachers are not as sure about what children should learn in order to readily access the key stage 1 curriculum.”
- “However, a small number of pupils are not supported well enough to catch up in their phonics knowledge.”
