Strengths
- “St John’s Marlborough is built on the ethos of ‘Kind, Supported, Happy’.”
- “The school is ambitious for all pupils to achieve highly.”
- “The qualifications pupils and students in the sixth form achieve prepare them well for their next steps.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes this information is not then used to adapt the curriculum to help fill gaps or resolve misconceptions.”
- “This can hinder pupils when learning the subsequent topics.”
- “Equally, when teachers do not identify that pupils’ learning is already secure, they do not move them onto more challenging concepts quickly enough.”
