Strengths
- “The school is highly ambitious for the achievement of pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “The academic, personal, social and emotional support that the school provides contributes strongly to how well pupils achieve.”
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, it is less clear what pupils should achieve by the end of each topic.”
- “This hinders teachers from knowing what pupils should know and be able to do.”
- “This makes it difficult for teachers to build on pupils’ prior knowledge.”
