Pupils at Saundersfoot Primary School enjoy coming to school. They behave well and show high levels of care and concern for each other. Many pupils enter the school with strong skills, knowledge and understanding, but too many do not always make as much progress as they could as they move through the school. Teachers work well to ensure that pupils have a strong sense of wellbeing but, in too many cases, teaching does not provide pupils with sufficient challenge to ensure that they achieve at a high enough level. Senior leaders have an appropriate knowledge of the improvements the school needs to make. However, they do not always follow through improvement actions robustly enough to ensure that all staff implement agreed changes.
