- “This motto is clear to see in all areas of the school.”
- “Pupils benefit from the ambition that the school has for what they will achieve.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects teachers’ assessment strategies do not always ensure that pupils remember previously taught knowledge and connect it with new learning.”
