Strengths
- “Pupils are incredibly happy and proud to be part of this high-achieving school.”
- “This is the bedrock of all leaders’ and pupils’ work.”
- “They share leaders’ high expectations of themselves.”
To improve
- “In some curriculum areas, subject leaders are still refining the content to further improve pupils’ learning.”
- “However, elsewhere in the school, because teachers have a good deal of autonomy in how they assess pupils’ learning there are some different approaches to assessment practice.”
- “This means pupils are not always clear how to improve their work.”
