Strengths
- “Pupils at this school are happy and safe.”
- “Staff have rallied well to maintain the quality of pupils’ experiences and learning.”
- “The recently introduced behaviour approach is highly effective.”
To improve
- “However, in some foundation subjects, these checks do not consistently provide leaders with precise information.”
- “This means that sometimes the school does not have a clear picture of how to adapt teaching to address what pupils do not know better.”
- “Consequently, pupils do not always learn the curriculum as well as they could.”
