Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to be a part of this friendly school.”
- “They feel safe and enjoy coming to school.”
- “Their skilful teachers provide lessons that not only deepen pupils’ knowledge but actively inspire them to be independent learners.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, teachers do not yet formally check what pupils know and can do.”
- “Similarly, while expectations of writing in English are high, teachers do not always insist that pupils apply this quality to their writing in all subjects.”
- “As a result, pupils do not get the practice they need to improve their writing as well as they could.”
