Strengths
- “Pupils, and students in the sixth form, thoroughly enjoy attending Lancaster Girls’ Grammar School.”
- “They told inspectors that they feel happy and safe in school.”
- “Pupils and students recognise, understand and value each other’s differences.”
To improve
- “That said, some pupils do not grasp key knowledge first time around.”
- “However, in key stages 3 and 4, some teachers are less adept at picking up on when pupils have not understood what has been taught.”
- “These teachers move pupils on to new learning too quickly, without ensuring that the foundations for future learning are firmly in place.”
