Strengths
- “Golden Valley Primary is a vibrant and welcoming school.”
- “Staff are ambitious for pupils and have high expectations of them.”
- “Pupils rise to these expectations and achieve well, as exemplified in recent published outcomes.”
To improve
- “A minority of parents and carers have struggled to adjust to the changes that leaders have made.”
- “In some subjects where the curriculum is new, at times staff are not as successful in checking what pupils know and can do.”
- “On occasion, staff ask pupils to recall knowledge they have not been taught or ask them to complete tasks that are too complex.”
