Strengths
- “The school’s ambition for all pupils to be ‘agents of change’ is at the core of everything it does.”
- “There are exceptionally well-planned opportunities that allow pupils to make a positive difference.”
- “For instance, pupils have recently launched a community telephone box project where they make items, such as remembrance poppies, for members of the public.”
To improve
- “However, in some wider curriculum subjects, there is not a clear enough link between activities undertaken in lessons and the intended learning.”
- “This means that some pupils are not appropriately challenged or able to show their curriculum understanding within their written work.”
- “However, the school does not provide sufficient opportunities for pupils to practise letter formation and the sounds that they have learned in their writing.”
