Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school and are keen to talk about their learning.”
- “As a result of a carefully thought-out curriculum, pupils achieve well.”
- “They are enthusiastic and are confident to share their views.”
To improve
- “However, teachers do not always check that pupils have fully understood this key information before moving on to the next activity.”
- “This means that pupils sometimes have gaps in their learning or misconceptions.”
- “Sometimes, however, teachers do not make the most effective adaptations to learning activities, to enable all pupils to be as successful as they could.”
