Strengths
- “The school expects pupils to treat each other with a great deal of respect and kindness.”
- “Pupils regularly meet these expectations.”
- “For example, in lessons pupils listen patiently to one another’s contributions.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, the essential prior knowledge that pupils should recall is not made explicitly clear.”
- “On occasion, teaching does not ensure that important prior knowledge is remembered securely.”
- “Sometimes, as a result, pupils struggle to recall and connect important prior learning to their current learning.”
