Wolverhampton school that is 'happy and welcoming' chalks up 'good' marks from education inspectors
A 'happy and welcoming school' where pupils 'respect and care for others' has been rated good by education inspectors.
Ofsted inspectors visited Stowlawn Primary School in Bilston earlier this year and said that pupils live up to the school's expectations for them to be ‘ready, respectful and safe'.
A report published following the inspection in March said children begin building the essential knowledge and skills they need in the early years, standing them 'in good stead for their later learning in different subjects'.
Teachers were said to have 'good subject knowledge and present information clearly', making sure 'pupils understand and use the appropriate subject vocabulary in lessons' and tracking achievement closely.
Inspectors said leaders ensured 'reading is a high priority', with teachers incorporating reading and phonic skills into all lessons, providing a well-stocked library, daily story times and a home reading challenge.
