- “They learn in a purposeful, kind and respectful environment.”
- “Pupils respond well to staff’s high expectations for learning and behaviour.”
To improve
- “However, teachers do not always spot when pupils are ready to learn more challenging content or to apply what they know in a different context.”
- “This slows the progress of some pupils.”
