Strengths
- “Pupils are proud of their school.”
- “The school strives for all pupils to achieve well.”
- “Pupils work to meet those expectations.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the school has not ensured that the checks on how well pupils have learned the curriculum over time are closely matched to what they have learned.”
- “Furthermore, some pupils spend time learning what they already know well.”
- “When this happens, those pupils do not move to more complex learning when they are ready to do so.”
