- “Pupils, and children in the early years, told the inspector that the school is like a big happy family.”
- “They said that they forge positive relationships with staff.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, leaders have not set out the key knowledge that pupils need to learn and remember.”
- “In these subjects, teachers are sometimes unsure of what essential information to teach to pupils and in what order.”
- “This hinders some pupils from building a deep body of knowledge in these areas of the curriculum.”
