Strengths
- “Leaders make sure that ‘knighthood’ core values underpin the work of the school.”
- “Pupils model keenly the school’s values, including respect, excellence and honesty.”
- “In assemblies, leaders award ‘knighthoods’ to pupils who have consistently demonstrated these qualities.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, leaders are working to refine their curriculum thinking further.”
- “However, the curriculum is not as coherently developed in all areas to build children’s knowledge and skills and prepare them for the next stage of their education.”
- “However, in a few subjects, teaching does not identify as routinely when pupils cannot remember the knowledge that they have previously been taught.”
