Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy the vibrant and happy atmosphere that leaders cultivate.”
- “Pupils love the opportunities provided to learn outdoors.”
- “This enhances both their personal development and academic knowledge.”
To improve
- “Although the curriculum mapping is not yet complete, subject leaders are acting swiftly to ensure the full curriculum is put in place.”
- “However, at times, teachers do not set appropriate classroom activities that will help pupils learn the important knowledge.”
- “Consequently, there can be a mismatch with what is identified in the curriculum, meaning pupils are not learning as much as they could.”
