Strengths
- “Pupils at Broad Oak are happy and enjoy school.”
- “The school’s seven core values underpin the positive way that pupils relate to one another.”
- “Pupils are proud of the diverse school community where everyone is accepted and valued for who they are.”
To improve
- “In these subjects, assessment strategies are not purposeful enough to ensure that gaps in pupils’ learning are identified effectively.”
- “As a result, staff are less able to adapt their delivery of the curriculum to help pupils learn missed or forgotten knowledge.”
- “This slows pupils’ learning in these subjects.”
