Strengths
- “The school wants the very best for the children.”
- “Adults know children and their families exceptionally well and form strong relationships with them.”
- “This helps children to be and to feel safe at school.”
To improve
- “However, not all adults are clear on the exact steps children need to move through to reach the ambitious end goals of the new curriculum.”
- “As a result, activities are not always sharply focused enough on the specific knowledge that children need to learn.”
- “This means adults cannot always effectively check children’s understanding and move children’s learning on as well as they could.”
