Strengths
- “Pupils at Holy Trinity enjoy school.”
- “They are happy to attend each day.”
- “Pupils especially appreciate the exciting ways in which teachers capture their curiosity through the topics that they study.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects in key stages 1 and 2, the curriculum is not clear about some of the important concepts that the school wants pupils to know.”
- “This means that teachers are unsure about some of the key knowledge that needs to be taught to help pupils connect different aspects of their learning together.”
- “As a result, some develop gaps in their understanding.”
