Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and feel safe in this caring school.”
- “Strong relationship between pupils and staff are built on a foundation of mutual respect.”
- “Pupils benefit from high-quality pastoral support.”
To improve
- “However, in some cases, these checks are not used consistently well to help pupils embed knowledge.”
- “At times, some teachers do not use the information about what pupils know and remember well enough to design activities that help pupils to apply and to practise what they have learned.”
- “This hampers some pupils from developing a secure understanding in that subject.”
