Strengths

“Leaders have high ambition for all pupils to achieve well.”
“Pupils enjoy learning a wellbalanced curriculum.”
“They are keen to share what they have learned and can remember.”

To improve

“In some subjects, leaders have planned what they want pupils to know by the end of the year but have not broken down what this looks like for pupils from lesson to lesson.”
“Where this is the case, it is not always clear what pupils are learning from the activities that teachers have planned.”
“In some subjects, this is not the case and staff find it hard to check what pupils have learned or spot gaps in pupils’ learning.”
