Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at Simon Marks.”
- “They appreciate and contribute to the respectful environment that leaders have created.”
- “Behaviour in lessons and around the school is excellent.”
To improve
- “However, in other areas of the curriculum this is less consistent.”
- “This is because, in these areas, the most important knowledge that pupils need to learn over time has not been as clearly defined.”
- “This means teachers do not routinely focus on developing and checking the most important concepts.”
