Strengths
- “Pupils at Gilded Hollins Community School are confident and happy.”
- “They enjoy attending school each day.”
- “The overarching school value of respect emanates from staff and pupils alike.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, leaders do not check on whether the curriculum is being delivered by staff as intended.”
- “From time to time, this hinders leaders in providing appropriate support for some staff to design aspects of learning for pupils.”
- “However, in a small number of subjects, teachers do not break down learning sufficiently well to help some pupils with SEND know and remember more.”
