Strengths
- “Pupils attend Highfields Primary Academy readily and regularly.”
- “They know staff care for them and understand them well.”
- “This helps them to feel safe in school.”
To improve
- “However, training linked to the chosen scheme has not been regular enough to keep teachers up to date with the most recent changes and current expectations in how to assess whether pupils are making progress at the rates expected.”
- “This means that some pupils are not yet reading at the appropriate level for their stage of education.”
- “Due to factors beyond control of the school, some areas of the curriculum have seen a delay in plans being completed.”
