Strengths
- “Pupils consistently live and breathe the school’s rules of being kind, respectful and trying one’s best.”
- “These rules help them to embody the school’s values and its vision, which is to ‘be a shining light’.”
- “Pupils show these values through their compassion towards, and celebration of, each other’s achievements.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes teaching in some subjects does not enable pupils to commit as securely to their long-term memory the knowledge they were taught during previous months and terms.”
- “This limits how well some pupils recall and build new knowledge on what they have learned before.”
- “However, on occasion, tasks are not as well selected to enable some pupils to embed and apply their learning.”
