Strengths
- “Pupils here are happy and safe.”
- “The school has high expectations for all pupils’ behaviour and of their attitudes to learning.”
- “The school makes sure that all pupils have an equal opportunity to participate in all that the school has to offer.”
To improve
- “These changes are not reflected in the historical academic outcomes of the school.”
- “Sometimes, however, the knowledge that the school has outlined is not revisited as frequently as it could be to help pupils to recall it in their long-term memory.”
- “However, occasionally teaching activities do not support pupils to understand and remember the planned curriculum as effectively as they could.”
