Strengths
- “Leaders at Landau Forte Academy, QEMS have high aspirations for all pupils and set high academic standards for them.”
- “Pupils say that they welcome these high standards and understand what leaders expect from them.”
- “This helps pupils to achieve well.”
To improve
- “However, where curriculum leaders have not identified key knowledge as precisely, pupils have gaps in their learning.”
- “They therefore struggle to complete more complex tasks later in their education.”
- “However, on occasions, teachers do not check pupils’ prior learning well enough and therefore any gaps in their knowledge persist and their progress is limited.”
