Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy life at Hopping Hill Primary School.”
- “The culture here is built on strong relationships.”
- “Staff prioritise getting to know all of the pupils very well.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the curriculum does not identify what pupils will learn as precisely as it could.”
- “This means that sometimes there is a lack of clarity about the knowledge that pupils should learn and remember.”
- “However, on some occasions, because the most important content has not been defined precisely, activities are not focused as sharply as they could be, and pupils’ learning is less secure.”
