Strengths

“They understand why these are important characteristics to aspire to.”
“Pupils appreciate the ‘gold card’ and ‘star of the week’ awards.”
“They take pride in being placed in the ‘ready to learn’ and ‘gold card’ sections of the class behaviour chart.”

To improve

“However, in a small number of places, the curriculum does not identify the most important information that pupils are expected to know and remember.”
“As a result, there are some minor gaps in what pupils can recall.”
“However, some of the targets that are set for these pupils are not precise enough.”
