- “The school values of respect, courage, compassion and friendship permeate throughout.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, the precise knowledge that pupils need to learn and when they need to learn it is not clear enough.”
- “In these cases, teachers do not have clarity about what pupils must know securely at each step of their learning.”
- “For example, in history the important knowledge that pupils must remember about the past is not identified precisely.”
