Strengths
- “Pupils’ pure joy in attending this school shines through in their warm smiles, cheery waves and joyful laughter.”
- “They are extremely proud to be part of the St Luke’s family.”
- “They trust the staff implicitly.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, leaders have been less decisive about fine-tuning the essential knowledge that pupils must learn.”
- “At times, teachers are not sure what knowledge should be taught, emphasised and rehearsed until it is held securely in pupils’ memories.”
- “In some subjects, there is too much content.”
