Strengths
- “Seymour Road Academy is a warm and embracing community that helps pupils to thrive both academically and socially.”
- “Pupils relish their time at school.”
- “They arrive each morning keen to learn new knowledge and to see their friends.”
To improve
- “However, from time to time, these are not used as effectively.”
- “In these instances, teachers do not identify what a few pupils have remembered.”
- “This means that these pupils are sometimes moved on to new learning too quickly before they have fully grasped prior content.”
