Strengths
- “At Thomas Willingale, pupils thrive.”
- “Pupils from all backgrounds get the support they need to do well at school.”
- “They benefit from leaders’ high expectations of what they can learn and achieve.”
To improve
- “In a few areas, teachers do not help pupils to make the rich connections between different strands of learning.”
- “Consequently, while pupils recall a lot of facts and details they have learned, they do not routinely develop the depth of understanding that they could.”
- “However, occasionally, teachers move on to new content before making sure that pupils are secure in what they are expected to learn.”
