Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming school.”
- “They feel happy, safe and well cared for.”
- “They know their teachers are there to help them and know who to speak to if they have any concerns.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, leaders have not precisely identified the key knowledge and vocabulary that they expect pupils to learn and understand.”
- “Consequently, teachers’ checks on what pupils know and remember do not fully match what they have taught.”
- “In addition, in these subjects, some pupils find it hard to make those learning connections which should help them to know and remember more.”
