Strengths
- “This is evident in how they get on with their school work and the way that they treat one another.”
- “The school is ambitious and has high aspirations for all pupils.”
- “All staff have high expectations for pupils’ behaviour and conduct, which pupils know, understand and respect.”
To improve
- “However, on occasion, the knowledge, skills, and vocabulary that the school wants pupils to learn, as set out in the school’s subject curriculums, are not taught precisely, including in the early years.”
- “This means that, sometimes, pupils do not fully understand what they have been taught.”
