Strengths
- “This school is a kind and friendly place.”
- “Staff at Branfil take every opportunity to model the school’s values of love, explore, aspire, respect and nurture.”
- “This helps pupils to understand how these values can positively shape their conduct and the way that they speak to others.”
To improve
- “However, occasionally, there are times when some of the choices of teaching activities are not focused with precision on making sure that pupils develop and retain a deep understanding of subject content.”
- “This can, in these instances, affect how the curriculum supports pupils to acquire a greater depth of knowledge across some subjects.”
