Strengths

- “Staff have high expectations of behaviour, and pupils respond by behaving well.”
- “Staff use the school’s routines consistently, and pupils are proud when they are ‘Going for Gold’.”
To improve
- “There are occasions when the curriculum does not quite reach these aims; however, these are rare.”
- “However, there are times when activities do not sufficiently develop pupils’ understanding of the subject.”
- “This is because they do not focus precisely enough on the important skills and knowledge leaders have identified for pupils to learn.”
