Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and well cared for at The Grove.”
- “They are kind to one another and look after each other at playtimes.”
- “From the start of early years, children establish routines that set them up well for their time in school.”
To improve
- “A few subject leaders are still developing their assessment processes to help them to monitor and evaluate the impact of the new curriculum plans that are in place.”
- “However, in a small number of subjects, their expertise is less secure.”
- “In these areas, teachers do not adapt lessons or check whether pupils have gaps in their knowledge as effectively.”
