Strengths
- “Pupils personify the school’s ‘STAR’ learning values: self-belief, teamwork, ambition and respect.”
- “Because staff typically tease out pupils’ strengths, pupils have much self-belief.”
- “It ensures they are happy to meet staff’s high expectations.”
To improve
- “For some foundation subjects, there is a lack of specificity regarding the information leaders want pupils to learn from the early years to Year 6.”
- “This makes it difficult for teachers to make explicit links to prior learning to help secure pupils’ understanding.”
- “This issue also makes it harder for teachers to check what pupils already know to inform teaching.”
