Strengths
- “Trinity St Mary’s is a place where pupils and children are happy and looked after.”
- “They like how the school’s themed weeks, for example, ‘detective week’, are fun and help them to remember their learning.”
- “Pupils know that their teachers will support them to do their best, even when they find learning tricky.”
To improve
- “There are some instances, however, where this work is not complete.”
- “In these cases, the plans are about activities rather than the detail of the knowledge pupils need to learn.”
- “This means that, sometimes, pupils are given tasks that do not support them to learn what they should.”
