Strengths
- “There is a strong culture of mutual respect at Monksmead.”
- “Pupils are polite and friendly.”
- “Their understanding of diversity makes this a welcoming and friendly school.”
To improve
- “In other subjects, leaders have introduced revised plans more recently, so pupils need more time to learn the key content they will build upon later.”
- “However, they do not perform suitably rigorous checks on how well teachers are delivering the curriculum in each subject.”
- “In some subjects, leaders’ understanding of curriculum impact is not clear.”
