Strengths
- “Just like the school’s strapline says, pupils ‘aim high, work hard and care deeply’.”
- “Pupils try their best, do not give up and look after each other.”
- “Pupils are happy and well behaved.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, such as in history, and design and technology, this is not the case.”
- “Pupils’ learning is not built up well enough in logical steps and learning is not interlinked and ordered sufficiently over time.”
- “Sometimes, leaders have not decided what is the most important knowledge that pupils need to learn and remember.”
