Strengths
- “Pupils take great pride in embodying the school’s vision ‘inspire, nurture, challenge’.”
- “They speak confidently about stepping beyond their comfort zone and being positive role models for their friends.”
- “They benefit greatly from the range of residential trips on offer.”
To improve
- “However, teachers do not always revisit key content from previous units to check that pupils have remembered this content long term.”
- “The school has not clearly identified the knowledge that pupils must remember over time in these subjects.”
- “This makes it harder for pupils to deepen their understanding by connecting ideas and knowledge to what they have learned before.”
