Strengths
- “The Limes School is a nurturing place for pupils to learn.”
- “Leaders provide considered support and encouragement to each pupil.”
- “Staff work together to support pupils to regain their confidence.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the curriculum is less well developed.”
- “In these subjects, the essential knowledge that staff want pupils to learn is not as clear as it should be, and neither is and the order in which this should be taught.”
- “In these subjects, leaders and staff are also not as clear about exactly what pupils must know and remember of the curriculum.”
