Strengths
- “Leaders’ expectations for all pupils are high.”
- “Pupils have high aspirations and want to succeed in education.”
- “Leaders have established the right school climate for them to do so.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, however, teachers move on too quickly and do not check pupils’ understanding.”
- “When this happens, teachers are less able to determine gaps in pupils’ learning and address forgotten or missed knowledge.”
- “However, pupils who need extra support with reading are sometimes not able to access the subject-specific text.”
