Strengths

“Harbury C of E Primary School is an inclusive school where staff and pupils celebrate equality and diversity each day.”
“Pupils try their best to live by the school motto ‘love, learn, grow’.”
“Most pupils attend school regularly and on time.”

To improve

“However, in some subjects, teaching does not effectively support pupils to deepen and apply their learning so they know and remember more.”
“This means that pupils do not learn the school’s curriculum as well as the school intends in these subjects.”
“At times, poor posture or positioning and ineffective pencil grip impacts how well some pupils write.”

Safeguarding: Effective
