Strengths
- “Summerhill School pupils and staff greet everyone, including visitors, in a caring and supportive way.”
- “Community and togetherness are at the heart of this wonderful school.”
- “All pupils who spoke to inspectors understand the ‘CARE’ values.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, teachers do not know whether pupils have secured the important knowledge before moving on.”
- “This results in some pupils not always building on previous learning, because they have not grasped the key ideas.”
