Strengths
- “Pupils flourish in this inclusive and vibrant school.”
- “Leaders are deeply committed to providing every pupil with the opportunity to shine.”
- “Pupils, including those in the sixth form, benefit from an extensive range of trips and enrichment experiences.”
To improve
- “However, in some other subjects, the precise knowledge that pupils need to explicitly link one key idea to the next is not always thoroughly identified and considered.”
- “Consequently, not all pupils are able to confidently grasp more complex ideas, and therefore they do not learn as much as they could.”
- “However, in subjects where important knowledge has not been as precisely ordered, there is variation in how well teachers use this information to adapt learning.”
