Strengths

  • “Elmstead Wood is a warm and friendly school.”
  • “Pupils are happy and safe.”
  • “They feel supported and cared for by the adults in the school.”

To improve

  • “The school does not always ensure that pupils are provided with opportunities to recall and apply key knowledge.”

  • “Pupils’ attitudes to their education are not as positive as they could be.”
