Strengths
- “Pupils’ behaviour at Walworth School is exemplary.”
- “All staff have high expectations for pupils’ learning and behaviour.”
- “Staff teach pupils how to manage their feelings and be kind to one another.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the exact knowledge that pupils should remember is not clear enough.”
- “This makes it difficult for teachers to check what pupils have learned.”
- “In addition, staff have not received training to help them plan activities in these few subjects that will enable pupils to remember the content.”
