Strengths
- “Pupils flourish at this inclusive and welcoming school.”
- “Staff have consistently high expectations.”
- “Pupils rise to these by working hard and acting on the guidance adults provide.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, teachers do not have such strong subject knowledge.”
- “They do not always choose activities that encourage pupils to recall prior learning to ensure this has transferred into their long-term memory.”
- “Consequently, pupils do not necessarily recall what they have learned in these subjects.”
