Strengths
- “Pupils wear their Monkton badge with pride.”
- “They beam when describing themselves as ‘Monktonites’ and being part of their school community.”
- “The school values sporting and physical activity and the personal qualities that it develops.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils have gaps in their number fact knowledge, which prevents them from achieving even more highly.”
- “There remains some variance in how well teaching checks pupils’ understanding, particularly in mathematics.”
- “This means that, sometimes, pupils do not build their understanding as well as they could.”
