Strengths
- “Finchampstead School is a small, friendly school with a big heart.”
- “Strong levels of care ensure that pupils feel safe, valued and respected.”
- “Pupils get on very well together, happily helping each other out and looking after each other if anyone needs a friendly word.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, work to develop the curriculum is ongoing.”
- “In these subjects, the knowledge that pupils need to know is not as clearly identified as it could be.”
- “This means that staff are not consistently clear about the essential knowledge pupils need to learn and remember.”
