Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending Manor Drive Primary Academy.”
- “The school places a high value on everyone being included.”
- “There is a warm and welcoming atmosphere.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the school is not sufficiently clear about the most important knowledge and vocabulary that pupils should learn and revisit.”
- “This hinders how well pupils deepen their understanding of important concepts over time.”
- “However, at times, these checks do not identify whether pupils’ earlier learning is fully secure.”
