Strengths
- “Leaders have made Highfields a haven of calm in the heart of the community.”
- “There are high expectations for what pupils can achieve.”
- “Trust and school leaders support pupils to live up to these expectations through emotional and practical support.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, teachers do not build on what pupils have been taught in previous years.”
- “Even though this has been planned out for them by leaders, some are not clear on how to do this.”
- “Leaders have not trained teachers in how to use teaching methods that build on the prior knowledge of pupils.”
