Strengths
- “Pupils are highly positive about their school.”
- “They enjoy the safe and harmonious environment.”
- “In lessons, they focus attentively showing deep levels of concentration.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, while pupils learn lots of interesting information, the important knowledge that pupils need to remember and the order in which they need to learn it are not identified with sufficient clarity.”
- “In these subjects, teachers do not know exactly what they must teach and the order in which they need to teach it so that pupils learn the knowledge they need to be ready for their next steps.”
- “When this is the case, pupils do not achieve as well as they could.”
