Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy regular ‘federation days’, when all pupils from both schools come together.”
- “This contributes to the safe, welcoming and family feeling across both schools.”
- “Pupils love coming to school and attend well.”
To improve
- “However, systems for checking pupils’ prior knowledge are not sufficiently well embedded.”
- “This means that occasionally, some teachers do not plan lessons that build well on what pupils know and can do.”
- “Occasionally, teachers do not plan activities that place enough emphasis on the most important subject knowledge.”
