Strengths
- “Pupils describe Hope View as ‘amazing’.”
- “Every pupil whom inspectors talked to had positive thoughts to share.”
- “Even when prompted to suggest small things to improve, most struggled.”
To improve
- “Despite this, in some subjects, such as history or the school’s information, communication and technology programme of study, curriculum planning is less clear about the key knowledge that pupils need to know and remember over time.”
- “However, on occasion, some staff are not as skilled in checking pupils’ understanding or identifying when misconceptions or lack of prior knowledge are getting in the way of pupils’ learning.”
