Strengths
- “Pupils at Chilwell Croft benefit greatly from their time at the school.”
- “The school’s motto, ‘All different, all equal, all achieving’, is fully embraced, and pupils feel accepted for who they are without fear of being judged.”
- “Pupils enjoy learning and having fun, thanks to staff who ensure that there are positive experiences both in and outside the classroom.”
To improve
- “However, pupils’ understanding in some of the foundation subjects is not as secure.”
- “This is because leaders have not ensured that all staff are sufficiently clear about the key knowledge that pupils need to learn.”
- “In addition to this, sometimes teachers do not check pupils’ understanding well enough.”
