Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend Orleton CofE.”
- “There is a real family feel to the school.”
- “It is welcoming and distinct in its community spirit.”
To improve
- “However, there are a few subjects where these recall strategies have not yet been implemented.”
- “This means that pupils are less confident in remembering key knowledge once they have moved on to a new topic.”
- “However, looking at the curriculum in a wider context, it does not fully support pupils’ understanding of the value and purpose of what they learn.”
