Strengths
- “Pupils have a strong sense of belonging to the community of Collierley Nursery and Primary School.”
- “They are warmly welcomed each day by staff who deeply care for their wellbeing.”
- “Pupils are happy and feel safe.”
To improve
- “However, further work is needed to ensure that across all year groups this consistently improves at pace.”
- “However, this is not consistent.”
- “For example, in history, while pupils study more than one civilisation, they cannot articulate what a civilisation is and how the Mayans and the Egyptians are similar or different.”
