Strengths
- “Kingsmead pupils are proud citizens of their school and its local community.”
- “They have a well-informed view of national and global issues.”
- “Pupils learn that they can enact change and they are proud to do so.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, the curriculum design does not help pupils to learn as well as they do in other subjects.”
- “This is because the school has not thought carefully enough about how key knowledge builds on previous learning and concepts.”
- “In these subjects, some pupils do not remember their learning as well as they should.”
