Strengths
- “St Cuthbert’s is a friendly and happy place in which to learn.”
- “The recently established leadership team has developed an ambitious curriculum for pupils to learn.”
- “The school mission, ‘let your light shine’, inspires pupils to achieve the best that they can in most subjects.”
To improve
- “In a few other subjects, where the curriculum is still being refined, the school has not thought carefully enough about the most important knowledge that it wants pupils to learn.”
- “This hinders teachers from helping pupils to connect new learning to the things that they already know.”
- “From time to time, this limits what some pupils know and remember.”
