Strengths
- “Pupils at Ladymount are very proud of their school.”
- “They enjoy the warm welcome that they receive from staff each morning.”
- “Pupils have strong relationships with staff.”
To improve
- “In contrast, a small number of subject curriculums do not indicate what pupils should learn.”
- “This means that teachers do not have the information that they need to make sure that pupils learn the full breadth of the national curriculum.”
- “This results in some pupils having gaps in their learning.”
