Strengths
- “Pupils attending Walton High are well cared for because staff prioritise getting to know them.”
- “Pupils learn a carefully considered curriculum that teaches them the skills they need to be successful in life.”
- “Pupils are ambitious and want to do well because staff help them see their potential.”
To improve
- “In the past, uptake of a foreign language has been low.”
- “However, not all teachers check that all pupils have retained learning before moving on to new topics.”
- “Consequently, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge, meaning they struggle to remember what they have previously learned over a longer period of time.”
