Strengths
- “This helps them to behave well and to treat others with respect.”
- “Older pupils take on leadership roles, including at breaktime and lunchtime.”
- “They help younger pupils to play well together.”
To improve
- “When the school audited staff training needs, they learned that extra time is needed for planning and assessment in languages.”
- “This is because staff lack confidence in their own subject knowledge.”
- “For example, they need to research grammatical rules in the language prior to teaching the lesson.”
