Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend this happy and welcoming school.”
- “They enjoy their lessons and spending time with their friends.”
- “Pupils who are new to the school are warmly welcomed.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, until recently, leaders had not clearly identified the most important knowledge that pupils need to learn or the order they need to learn it.”
- “This hinders teachers in designing learning that supports pupils to remember the content of these subject curriculums.”
- “This means that pupils do not deepen their understanding over time.”
