Strengths
- “St Luke’s is a small school where staff know each pupil as an individual.”
- “Pupils like coming to school and they enjoy warm relationships with their teachers.”
- “Pupils are kind to one another and said that everyone is welcome there.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, some teachers do not use assessment information to consider the next steps in pupils’ learning.”
- “This means that the activities that some pupils are asked to complete do not match their needs as well as they might.”
- “This hampers some pupils from learning as well as they should.”
