Strengths
- “Pupils at St Helen’s Junior love their school.”
- “Its inclusive, welcoming ethos ensures that pupils are settled and happy.”
- “Pupils are kind to each other.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, the curriculum does not lay out clearly enough the specific knowledge that pupils are expected to learn, or how this should progress over time.”
- “Where this is the case, pupils’ learning does not build in enough depth, and pupils do not remember what they are taught.”
