Strengths
- “Severn Vale School has high expectations for its pupils.”
- “They achieve well across the curriculum and are prepared for their next steps in education or training.”
- “Pupils have adults that they trust to share any concerns.”
To improve
- “However, at times, the checks that teachers make do not accurately identify what pupils know and can do.”
- “This prevents steps being taken to resolve any gaps or misconceptions.”
- “Consequently, some pupils are then not able to learn new content as well as they should.”
