Strengths
- “Carcroft Primary School provides a safe and nurturing environment.”
- “Staff understand the importance of developing positive, warm relationships with pupils.”
- “This supports pupils to feel well cared for and gives them a sense of belonging.”
To improve
- “Outcomes in 2023, do not reflect the quality of education that current pupils enjoy.”
- “Nonetheless, some of this improvement work is in its infancy for the oldest pupils.”
- “Pupils in key stage 2 who are at risk of falling behind, are not identified as swiftly as those in early years and key stage 1.”
