Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to Lowther Endowed School.”
- “They are happy in school and value being part of the team.”
- “Pupils enjoy the vibrant and exciting school environment.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, teachers do not support pupils to build on what they already know sufficiently well.”
- “This is because the school has not identified the essential knowledge that pupils need to learn over time.”
- “This limits the depth of knowledge that pupils acquire in these subjects.”
