Strengths
- “Pupils at Duke Street achieve well.”
- “This is because leaders and staff are ambitious for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to become skilful, knowledgeable learners.”
- “Pupils value their learning and frequently told inspectors that ‘teachers make learning fun’.”
To improve
- “Leaders have correctly identified the need to further refine their curriculum thinking in a small number of subjects.”
- “Some curriculums are less clear about the knowledge that teachers will teach and assess.”
- “This reduces teachers’ certainty that pupils know and remember all the essential information that they need.”
