Strengths
- “Whetstone Field is a warm and welcoming place to learn.”
- “The school has high ambitions for every pupil, including disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “Staff want all children to flourish.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, some of the key knowledge that pupils are expected to know and remember is not as clear or is too broad.”
- “This means teachers do not always teach the most important knowledge.”
- “As a result, some pupils struggle to remember what the school wants them to learn in these areas.”
