Strengths
- “Pupils’ behaviour is excellent.”
- “They show consideration for others, often without any prompting.”
- “If someone is upset or worried, other pupils and staff are quick to listen and help.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, the school’s new curriculum does not provide enough guidance about what to teach and why.”
- “While national curriculum topics, for example in history, are covered, individual teachers select the content to teach within them.”
- “Pupils learn facts, but do not necessarily see how new learning relates to previous learning.”
