Strengths
- “Pupils are happy to come to school each day.”
- “They champion one another and recognise each other’s strengths.”
- “This contributes to an environment where success is celebrated and rewarded.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the curriculum needs refining.”
- “This is because the key knowledge that pupils should remember over time has not been identified.”
- “This makes it difficult for teachers to emphasise the key knowledge when they revisit and check pupils’ learning in these subjects.”
