Strengths
- “Alderbrook school leaders and pupils share the same high aspirations.”
- “Pupils understand and follow the school values to be ambitious, brave and kind.”
- “Relationships between pupils and staff are warm and respectful.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, teachers do not take opportunities to develop and challenge pupils’ knowledge and understanding as fully as they might.”
- “For example, some teachers do not always ask pupils questions that have sufficient depth, or set challenging tasks for pupils to complete.”
- “This means that pupils are not able to fully extend their understanding of different topics.”
