Strengths
- “The Grove is a caring and inclusive school with an ethos of compassion and understanding.”
- “The school is ambitious and expects all pupils to do their very best.”
- “Pupils and staff have positive relationships.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects in the wider curriculum, misconceptions are not addressed as quickly as they could be.”
- “Assessment is not always used effectively to check what pupils know and can do.”
- “As a result, pupils do not build their knowledge as securely as in the core subjects.”
