Strengths
- “This is a school where pupils live out leaders’ expectations of being Woodrush Ready: be prepared, be productive, be respectful, and be reflective.”
- “This means the school is a harmonious community where difference is celebrated, and pupils behave considerately to each other and to visitors.”
- “The school takes pride in its role in the local community, and pupils take a lead in promoting this.”
To improve
- “However, there are occasions when assessment is not used effectively to check that pupils have understood key learning.”
- “On these occasions, misconceptions persist, or opportunities are missed to move pupils on to more challenging tasks.”
- “This strategy is yet to be fully embedded.”
