Strengths

- “They said that their teachers are kind and help them to do their best.”
- “Pupils’ positive relationships with their teachers help them to feel safe.”
To improve
- “In a small number of foundation subjects, some teachers’ checks do not give them an accurate understanding of how well pupils remember the key knowledge in the curriculum.”
- “Some teachers introduce new learning before pupils are ready.”
- “As a result, a few pupils develop gaps in their knowledge without their teachers knowing.”
