Strengths
- “‘Hob Hill is a small school with a big heart’, is how one person described this school.”
- “Many parents, pupils and staff agree.”
- “Pupils feel that they belong to a ‘family’ and feel it is a place where everyone feels included.”
To improve
- “However, not all subjects are monitored effectively.”
- “This means that, in some subject areas, the school does not know the impact of learning sequences on what pupils know, remember and can do.”
- “Some staff, however, have not received the necessary support to deliver subject-specific content.”
