Strengths
- “Trinity is a happy school where pupils feel safe.”
- “Pupils enjoy their lessons because teachers make learning interesting and memorable.”
- “This is a welcoming and inclusive school.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, such as history and geography, leaders have thought about the broad knowledge they want pupils to learn but have not yet defined, in sufficient detail, the important knowledge and ideas that they want pupils to gain as they move through the year groups in key stage 2.”
- “This means that pupils’ learning is not always as well focused as it could be on what pupils need to know.”
- “However, the words in some subjects, including mathematics and history, are sometimes too difficult for pupils who are at an early stage of learning to read.”
