Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to Hankham School and know that all at the school have high aspirations for them to do well.”
- “Staff have pupils at the heart of all that they do.”
- “This is reflected in the way staff continually improve and develop what they do.”
To improve
- “Many parents and carers are also proud of the school, but a minority feel that the school could be even better.”
- “However, for some foundation subjects, these small checks of pupils’ knowledge are not fully developed into working out what pupils know and can do overall, particularly as they move from one year to the next.”
- “This hampers teachers as they are not able to support pupils as effectively from the start of each year.”
