Strengths
- “Developing high aspirations for every pupil guides all decisions at Ashfield School.”
- “Pupils are encouraged to be ambitious and to make a positive contribution to the world around them.”
- “Staff support pupils well and help them overcome any challenges to their learning or wellbeing.”
To improve
- “However, leaders have identified that pupils’ progress in English is not as rapid as their progress in other subjects, including mathematics.”
- “However, the oversight of behaviour across the school is not as robust as the oversight of attendance.”
- “As a result, leaders cannot be fully clear about the impact of their actions, for example in evaluating the effectiveness of the ‘reset room’.”
