Strengths
- “Castle School has created a warm and welcoming learning environment, where pupils thrive.”
- “The school is highly ambitious for all its pupils.”
- “As a result, pupils believe they can do anything they set their mind to.”
To improve
- “With the exception of aspects of the writing curriculum, subject knowledge is clearly defined and sequenced so that pupils encounter this in a logical order.”
- “However, as yet, they do not all sufficiently check to find out if, or how well, teachers are implementing all aspects of the academic curriculum as the school intends.”
- “This means that they cannot identify and support teachers who may benefit from their expertise.”
