Strengths
- “Much Woolton pupils are warm and welcoming.”
- “They enjoy school and appreciate all that staff do to support them.”
- “From the early years upwards, there is a tangible air of high expectation.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, this information is not shared well enough beyond each classroom.”
- “This means the school does not have a deep enough understanding of what pupils know and can do.”
- “This prevents the school from making any necessary changes to the curriculum.”
