Strengths
- “Pupils work hard in the classroom and participate in lessons with enthusiasm.”
- “Pupils learn in a calm and purposeful way.”
- “They are reflective and identify areas they can improve.”
To improve
- “In some wider curriculum subjects, assessment is not as impactful because it does not identify enough information about what pupils have learned and remembered.”
- “While pupils can discuss their current learning, they struggle to make links to what they have learned before.”
- “However, some adaptations to learning do not precisely match pupils’ needs, or they are too broad.”
