- “They arrive every morning, happy and eager to learn.”
- “Pupils love being active at playtime and enjoy the different clubs on offer at lunchtime and after school.”
To improve
- “However, in a minority of subjects, such as history, leaders have not yet identified precisely enough the most important knowledge pupils need to learn.”
- “This means that staff are not always clear about the content they need to teach.”
- “However, on occasions, some teachers do not notice or address misconceptions in pupils’ understanding.”
