Strengths
- “Pupils thrive at this friendly and attentive school.”
- “They are happy and take pride in their learning.”
- “There is a strong ethos of respect in the school.”
To improve
- “However, in some foundation subjects, the curriculum does not revisit previous learning routinely, which means that, over time, pupils struggle to recall some of the important knowledge they have previously been taught.”
- “This is not yet embedded consistently across all foundation subjects.”
- “Currently, pupils’ knowledge gaps are not routinely addressed.”
