Strengths

- “Both school and federation leaders have high aspirations for all to achieve to the best of their ability.”
To improve
- “However, strategies for checking pupils’ knowledge in the wider curriculum are less well developed.”
- “This means that teachers and leaders are not always clear about what pupils need to learn next or where they have gaps in learning.”
