Strengths
- “The school has high aspirations.”
- “Many pupils achieve well, personally and academically.”
- “The school encourages pupils to be ambitious for themselves.”
To improve
- “However, in a few curriculum areas, checks on pupils’ understanding are not as robust.”
- “This means sometimes teachers do not precisely know what pupils have remembered, can do or have built fluency in.”
- “Gaps develop in pupils’ knowledge, and this hinders their progress in understanding more complex ideas and thinking.”
