Strengths

“At Arnett Hills, the sense of community is palpable.”
“Pupils of all ages play happily together at breaktimes.”
“Older pupils look out for younger ones.”

To improve

“However, sometimes teachers do not anticipate common problems pupils may encounter when practising what they have learned.”
“Teachers check that pupils are learning but, on occasion, they do not identify the misconceptions some pupils have.”
“This leaves some pupils with gaps in their learning that are not addressed.”
