Strengths
- “Visitors to lessons are met by ‘class greeters’ who explain the work going on in their class.”
- “Pupils take pride in being reading ambassadors, wellbeing champions and house captains, and taking on other roles of responsibility.”
- “Adults have high expectations of behaviour and the atmosphere within the school is calm and friendly.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the curriculum does not always support pupils in building knowledge over time.”
- “This means that pupils find it difficult to link topics together.”
- “Also, teachers do not regularly track how much pupils have learned and what they can remember.”
