Strengths
- “Leaders and staff are ambitious for pupils.”
- “Their high expectations begin in the early years.”
- “Pupils are polite and kind towards each other.”
To improve
- “However, the essential knowledge and skills pupils need to remember are not broken down into small achievable steps in all subject curriculums.”
- “Therefore, teachers do not know how to adapt the curriculum to meet the needs of all learners.”
- “For example, the physical education curriculum does not set out the steps pupils need to practise and master before being able to bowl overarm.”
