Strengths
- “Pupils feel privileged to be part of their school community.”
- “They respond well to the many high-quality opportunities and positions of responsibility on offer to them.”
- “For example, Year 5 pupils support Reception class ‘buddies’ diligently.”
To improve
- “However, at times, their achievement in some other subjects is less secure.”
- “However, at times, and especially in subjects other than reading and mathematics, teachers do not probe sufficiently to find out how secure pupils’ understanding is before introducing new information.”
- “This means that, occasionally, pupils’ understanding is not as deep as it could be.”
