Strengths
- “Pupils, and children in the early years, are happy and safe in this school.”
- “They know and understand the importance of the school’s values to ‘listen, respect and persevere’.”
- “Pupils often reflect on these values in whole-school assemblies.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, the most important knowledge that pupils need to remember is not always prioritised.”
- “When this is the case, pupils struggle to remember the key points so they can build on these and deepen their understanding.”
- “Occasionally, these checks are not precise enough to help teachers identify exactly what pupils know and to spot if there are any gaps in their knowledge.”
