Strengths
- “Pupils firmly believe that St.”
- “Augustine’s Academy ‘is a place where we all shine’.”
- “Pupils happily stick to the three golden rules to be kind, respectful and do their best.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, curriculum plans occasionally contain too much for teachers to teach effectively in the available time.”
- “When this happens, teachers try to cover too much at once, leading to some pupils not remembering key knowledge.”
- “These pupils often have unsettled starts in education.”
