Strengths
- “Pride and respect are the cornerstones of this school.”
- “Pupils show an understanding of kindness, responsibility and concern for others in everything they do.”
- “They appreciate the school being a focus in the community.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, leaders need a closer focus on the key concepts that pupils need to know, and when.”
- “Equally, there are occasional times when teachers do not explain the knowledge that pupils need to know clearly enough.”
- “When this happens, pupils cannot articulate their learning and do not remember key information over time.”
