To improve
- “While effective in many areas, teachers do not yet use these checks to adapt subsequent learning fully effectively across all subjects.”
- “As a result, pupils could achieve even more in some subjects.”
- “While the school works hard to communicate with parents well, which most parents appreciate and value, there are some who feel that this needs to improve.”
