Strengths

- “These principles are reflected in the high expectations that staff have for what pupils learn.”
- “Pupils rise to these expectations.”
To improve
- “However, in some foundation subjects, pupils are not remembering some areas of the curriculum as clearly.”
- “There are small gaps in pupils’ understanding.”
- “At times, this prevents some pupils from being as successful as they could be.”
