Strengths
- “Bisley is a school full of polite and enthusiastic pupils.”
- “There is a special atmosphere where pupils happily learn and play together.”
- “Staff cultivate this strongly, starting in the early years provision.”
To improve
- “However, at times, curriculum planning focuses on skills instead of the knowledge that underpins this application.”
- “It can also mean that some assessment is not as precise as it could be and that teachers do not always set the most appropriate learning activities.”
- “Consequently, pupils do not learn as much as they could.”
