Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending Lyndhurst Primary.”
- “Pupils understand and embody the school’s key principles, such as advocacy.”
- “They aim to do this through the caring and kind relationships they have with others.”
To improve
- “However, the curriculum in a small number of other subjects is at an earlier stage of development.”
- “In these areas, the explicit knowledge that pupils should learn and remember is not as clearly identified.”
- “However, this is less consistent in those wider curriculum subjects where leaders’ aims and expectations for a subject are in the earlier stages of development.”
