Strengths
- “Pupils are very happy coming to Armathwaite School.”
- “Leaders’ belief that ‘it takes a whole community to raise a child’ is exemplified through the positive relationships that pupils have with staff and the wider school community.”
- “Pupils feel that staff listen to their ideas and any worries that they may have.”
To improve
- “However, in a minority of subjects, leaders have not provided sufficient training for some staff so that they can deliver the curriculum as well as they should.”
- “This means that some pupils do not learn as well as they could in these subjects.”
