Strengths
- “Pupils at Sutherland Primary Academy live and learn through the school’s ‘golden rules’ and their ‘chance to change’ reflective approach to behaviour.”
- “They rise to the high expectations set through these, with one pupil saying, ‘They help us to be mature.”
- “These are life skills; life would not be easy without them’.”
To improve
- “However, in some units of work, the key knowledge that leaders want pupils to know and remember is not as clear.”
- “As a result, some pupils struggle to remember what they have learned.”
