Strengths
- “Pupils, and their parents and carers, are proud to be part of this inclusive school.”
- “Pupils say that they are happy to come to school every morning because their teachers are always welcoming and kind.”
- “They feel safe because they trust adults to resolve any problems they may have.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, leaders and teachers are not clear about what strategies they should use to check if pupils have learned what was intended.”
- “As a result, in these subjects, teachers sometimes do not identify and address gaps in pupils’ learning or correct any misconceptions that may have developed.”
