Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to belong to the Watling Street community.”
- “There is a shared sense of pride and positivity throughout the school.”
- “School values such as respect, aspiration and resilience are at the heart of every decision made.”

- “When this happens, teachers do not identify and close the gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
- “This makes it harder for pupils to understand and retain their new learning.”
