Strengths
- “Leaders have established five ‘golden rules’ that underpin a harmonious and respectful school culture.”
- “These rules inspire pupils to treat each other kindly and to behave well.”
- “If pupils find it difficult to manage their feelings and behaviour, adults provide exceptional support to help them to get back on track.”
To improve
- “However, adults do not always check precisely enough whether pupils remember the most important knowledge that leaders have identified.”
- “However, checks on what pupils remember are not always precise enough.”
- “This leads to a small number of pupils having misconceptions that are not always spotted and addressed.”
