Strengths
- “This is a school where pupils work incredibly hard to reach the expectations leaders have for their behaviour and learning.”
- “Staff and pupils treat each other with respect and kindness.”
- “Pupils conduct themselves very well in class, around the school and during social times.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, pupils struggle to remember key knowledge, skills and vocabulary.”
- “This is because, in these cases, the key knowledge and skills are not sequenced as effectively as they could be.”
- “In addition, leaders and teachers do not have effective processes in place to check what pupils have been taught, know and remember over time.”
