Strengths
- “Pupils attending the Grace Cook Primary School enjoy a safe and caring community.”
- “They work with staff who ensure that the school aims of ‘dream, believe, achieve’ are part of everyday school life.”
- “Pupils can share any worries with staff, who they know will help them.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, this is less clear.”
- “This means that teachers do not always deliver the curriculum as planned.”
- “Consequently, where this is the case, pupils could potentially develop gaps in their knowledge and this, in turn, may impact on their success when studying more complex learning in the future.”
