Strengths
- “Mansbridge is an ambitious and friendly school.”
- “Pupils enjoy learning and relish the opportunities the school offers.”
- “The vision of ‘learn more, remember more, be more’ drives everything that the school does.”
To improve
- “At the beginning of this school year, some children joined the school with weak attention and listening skills.”
- “In a few foundation subjects, leaders have not yet identified all the knowledge that they would like pupils to learn and remember.”
- “This results in teachers not always knowing what aspects to focus on in lessons.”
