Strengths
- “John Perry is a welcoming and inclusive school which pupils are happy to attend.”
- “They know they can talk to staff if they are worried about anything.”
- “In lessons, they listen carefully and work well with their peers.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, assessment is not used as carefully to check what pupils have learned.”
- “As a result, gaps in pupils’ knowledge, along with any misconceptions they may have, are not sufficiently identified and addressed.”
- “This limits the depth of knowledge some pupils secure in these subjects.”
