Strengths
- “Pupils at the school embody the shared values of kindness, growth and respect.”
- “They are encouraged to meet the ‘Golden Expectations’ and give everything a go.”
- “This is seen in the focus that pupils demonstrate when completing their classwork.”
To improve
- “However, there are a few occasions where pupils do not receive sufficient practise in their work tasks to help their new knowledge stick.”
- “When this is the case, pupils are a little less confident to recall and apply their knowledge in new contexts.”
