Strengths
- “In this small school, pupils are well known and cared for.”
- “They, and their parents and carers, appreciate the supportive and kind environment that leaders create.”
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, leaders are still in the process of deciding the precise information that they want pupils to learn.”
- “As a result, some teaching does not deepen and develop pupils’ subject-specific knowledge well enough.”
- “At times, teachers do not check effectively how well pupils are learning so that they can adapt their teaching accordingly.”
