Strengths
- “Pupils at Maypole Primary are happy and eager to come to school.”
- “Each morning, familiar adults welcome them and help them feel ready for the day.”
- “The school’s values are lived throughout the community and give pupils a strong sense of belonging.”
To improve
- “Leaders rightly recognise that some pupils would benefit from securing early reading, writing and number skills sooner.”
- “This would help them meet the demands of the school's ambitious curriculum.”
- “While published outcomes show that pupils achieve well overall, pupils’ fluency in early reading and multiplication tables is not consistently secure.”
