Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at this school.”
- “They behave well and live out the school values of kindness, friendship and respect.”
- “Pupils proudly wear golden jumpers that show when they have closely followed one of these values.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the school has not determined the small steps of essential knowledge that pupils should learn.”
- “This means that teachers do not have the precise information that they need to deliver the important knowledge that they should.”
- “This limits some pupils’ learning.”
