Strengths
- “Holy Saviour is a caring and welcoming place to learn.”
- “They appreciate that the school is a close-knit community where everyone supports each other.”
- “For example, older pupils value the chance that they have to buddy children in the early years in their first year of school.”
To improve
- “In some areas of the curriculum, however, the school has not identified the precise knowledge that children in the early years are expected to learn.”
- “This makes it difficult for teachers to ensure that children’s learning is built on successfully when they move into key stage 1.”
- “However, on some occasions, teachers do not select appropriate activities to support pupils to learn the knowledge in the curriculum as deeply as they could.”
