Strengths
- “Pupils thrive at Mulberry Wood Wharf Primary School.”
- “They are caring citizens who know how to keep themselves safe and understand they have a role to play in looking after others.”
- “The school’s mantra of, ‘When someone is without a smile, you give them one of yours,’ sums up the approach to fostering kindness and empathy.”
To improve
- “However, the checks that teachers make on pupils’ learning do not consistently identify where misconceptions have occurred.”
- “This means that some pupils have gaps in their knowledge that go unaddressed or do not get the chance to correct mistakes.”
- “This hinders these pupils’ progress through the curriculum.”
