Strengths
- “Leaders have developed a welcoming culture in the school where all pupils feel valued.”
- “Staff know their pupils very well and working relationships are positive.”
- “As a result, pupils are happy and safe in school.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, staff do not check pupils’ learning effectively to identify gaps in understanding or to address misconceptions.”
- “As a result, pupils are sometimes not ready to learn new content or commit knowledge to the long-term memory.”
- “This also means that in some subjects, activities in lessons do not build clearly on the knowledge that pupils have learned previously.”
