Quotes from The Inspection Report for
Adelaide Primary School in Hull, which took place in March
2007.
The school serves an area of extreme social disadvantage close to the centre of Kingston upon Hull. The proportion of pupils entitled to a free school meal is above average. Most pupils are White British with more than a quarter from minority ethnic backgrounds and this proportion is increasing each year. Many of these pupils are at an early stage of learning English when they start school. The attainment of the intake of pupils to the Foundation Stage is very low and the proportions with learning difficulties and/or disabilities and who join the school other than at the usual time are above average.
Pupils achieve well. The provision for children in the Foundation Stage is very good and the children in the Nursery and Reception class make good progress from their very low starting points although most do not reach the standards expected for their age by the end of the Reception year. However, standards are rising, particularly in the children’s language and communication skills. |
