Strengths
- “At Little Waltham, everyone believes that all pupils can ‘live life in all its fullness’.”
- “Pupils build positive relationships with staff.”
- “These are very much appreciated by pupils.”
To improve
- “However, pupils would like adults to be more consistent in how they respond to disruption in lessons.”
- “However, systems for checking if pupils are learning the important knowledge are still being developed in a small number of subjects.”
- “Where this is the case, leaders do not have as accurate a view of how well pupils learn the curriculum in these subjects.”
