Strengths
- “Dorridge Primary School is a happy and high performing school.”
- “Pupils are proud to attend such a special place.”
- “There is a strong family feel.”
To improve
- “However, there is still work to do to ensure the precise knowledge the school wants pupils to learn is clearly exemplified.”
- “Where this important knowledge is not explicit, pupils do not always learn the most important information at the right time.”
- “Learning activities do not always enable pupils to demonstrate subject-specific understanding.”
