Strengths
- “Pupils understand the school’s values of respect, peace, forgiveness, trust and perseverance.”
- “They know why these values are important, both in school and for later life.”
- “For example, pupils said that to persevere means to keep trying when they find work difficult.”
To improve
- “However, on occasion, while some pupils need to revisit previous learning before moving on to something new, others do not and they are not provided with further challenge to develop their learning further.”
- “This means that some pupils complete work that they already know and understand.”
- “This limits the time available for them to deepen or apply their learning.”
