- “Pupils told the inspector that they value the strong friendships that they have with their peers.”
- “This helps them to feel happy at school.”
To improve
- “However, as a result of the previous weaker curriculums, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge.”
- “This means that these pupils do not achieve as well as they should in these subjects.”
- “Nevertheless, in some subjects, some teachers do not check what pupils know and remember and they move them on to new concepts before they are ready.”
