Strengths
- “Pupils, and students in the sixth form, are proud to be part of St Margaret’s Church of England Academy.”
- “They enjoy strong relationships with their teachers and other staff.”
- “Pupils feel safe when they are in school.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, at key stages 3 and 4, some teachers do not choose the most appropriate methods to help pupils to understand key knowledge.”
- “Occasionally, teachers do not check carefully enough that pupils have understood what they have learned before moving on to a new topic.”
- “As a result, some pupils develop gaps in their learning.”
