Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school, and this is shown in the positive attendance figures.”
- “Pupils are independent and confident.”
- “They hold strong views about right and wrong.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, middle leaders who are new to their role have not pre-planned these smaller steps of knowledge.”
- “This means that pupils of different ages in the same class sometimes learn the same things.”
- “Teachers can find it difficult to assess pupils in a few subjects because the learning steps are not precise.”
