Strengths
- “Pupils are very happy at this school.”
- “They behave well in the playground as well as in their classrooms.”
- “Pupils listen to their teachers well, work hard and try their best.”
To improve
- “However, there is, at times, too much content in the curriculum.”
- “The school has yet to narrow down and identify the most important knowledge for pupils to remember.”
- “This means that, in some subjects in the wider curriculum, teachers are not sure what to focus on to check that pupils have remembered key knowledge in the long term.”
