Strengths
- “Gillibrand is a happy, welcoming school where pupils thrive in a nurturing environment.”
- “The school has high expectations of pupils’ achievement and behaviour.”
- “Staff encourage pupils to explore their interests and ‘follow their dreams’.”
To improve
- “In contrast, pupils’ gains in writing are not as strong as their achievement in reading.”
- “This is because the teaching of early writing is variable.”
- “However, the resources that children in the early years and pupils in key stage 1 use to practise writing are not well matched to their needs.”
