Strengths
- “Staff, pupils and parents recognise the positive changes in their school in recent years.”
- “Pupils are courteous and respectful.”
- “They typically treat one another with consideration and enjoy supportive and professional relationships with staff.”
To improve
- “However, in some areas of the curriculum, teaching does not support pupils to think deeply about subject content.”
- “This is because the curriculum thinking has not identified as many opportunities to do so.”
- “Where this is the case, pupils recall curriculum facts with ease, but they do not readily use what they know to make sense of more complex ideas.”
