Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming school.”
- “Staff value what pupils have to say.”
- “For example, pupils elected to the school council work with staff to make improvements to the school.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, the knowledge and skills that pupils need to learn are not identified precisely enough, and teachers are not always clear about what they should teach and when.”
- “As a result, in some subjects, pupils sometimes develop gaps in their knowledge and do not achieve as well as they could.”
- “However, this is not the case in all subjects.”
