Strengths
- “Pupils at Funtington flourish personally.”
- “The exceptional personal development programme brings out pupils’ wonderful character attributes.”
- “The school acts as one family.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, some teachers have not checked pupils’ understanding over time.”
- “This has led to some pupils with knowledge gaps in their learning and, therefore, hindered them from reaching higher standards.”
- “However, the school can see that teachers are not always setting the right work and also not providing pupils with enough opportunities to extend and practise their writing skills.”
