Strengths
- “Pupils describe their school as welcoming, kind and inclusive.”
- “Pupils are polite and keen to help others.”
- “They are rewarded for demonstrating the school’s values of ‘trust, fairness and respect’.”
To improve
- “At times, however, teaching does not routinely check that pupils are secure in their basic understanding of important ideas before they are moved on through the curriculum.”
- “Teachers do not adjust teaching consistently well when errors or misconceptions arise.”
- “This means that some pupils do not securely build the knowledge they need to successfully complete more advanced tasks.”
